Chuck,
It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, and a day to love them, but it takes an entire lifetime to forget them.

Will miss having cocktails with you, BBQ's, our trips to Lake Tahoe with Tom, anything vehicles especially BMW's, knowing that you had a rare talent and could fix or install anything, rest in peace. It was a pleasure to know you and call you friend...

Very sad to hear this news. Chuck was truly an enjoyable man. Spending time with Chuck always included humor and some fun. They years we worked together at BMW Concord were truly entertaining. He will certainly be missed.

I was saddened to hear that my friend whom I've known since Junior High passed away suddenly. Although we didn't see each other often when we did meet it was as if no time had passed. I and all of Chucks friends from Skyline will miss him. Chuck was truly a good human being and touched many people with his gentle spirit. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mary and the family. You will be missed Chuck. RIP.

Chuck,
I will miss our annual trips to Tahoe with Greg & the crazy time at the BMW driving school in Germany; Mary was right you drive too fast! I can't thank you enough for all the home repairs at the cabin and the endless advice on cars, especially BMW. Rest in peace brother-in-law; I will watch over Mary & the kids!

You don't know me or my husband, but my husband read the obituary for your husband, Chuck. He was a little boy when Chuck lived near him in the Oakland Hills and when my husband's big brother, a classmate of Chuck's at Corpus Christi school, died and children at school were teasing him about his brother, little Chuck (who would have been about 8 at the time) chased the bullies away. Chuck's mom, too had invited my husband and another brother to play. My husband would've been about 4/5 in those days. My husband's one clear memory of his big brother, Thomas, includes Chuck. So, thank you, Chuck, for being a sweet little boy, too. Our lives are surely interconnected, and everything we do has a ripple effect. God bless you all as you grieve the loss of your beloved.

Mary, Whitney & Ryan,

I was so deeply saddened to hear of this news. Working with Chuck for so many years, we were all more of a family than co-workers.
We had some great memories together, he will always have a special place in my heart. May you find peace and comfort in all the good times you shared together as a loving family.

My Sincere Condolences,

We at BMW corporate were shocked to hear the news of Chuck's passing.
All of us have very fond memories of Chuck, and it was great to be able to catch up with him on Facebook the last few years after he retired from Weatherford.
It was always great to see him at the National Aftersales meetings and he always had objective feedback to push the business forward.
But I'll remember him most for all the laughs we had along the way. He was a good man and we all loved him.
Chuck will be dearly missed and I wish the MacLeod family strength.
Godspeed Chuck.....

Mary, Whitney and Ryan,

I was able to share some of the most fun I ever had working at BMW with Chuck. We shared many laughs and accomplished a lot together over the years.
I already miss knowing I can no longer pick up the phone and give him a call just to catch up on what's going on.

My deepest sympathy to all of you.
