Malm families send sympathy to families n friends on your loss. Willow Acres was a great gathering of friends with horse interests. Martha Malm got a old fashioned buggy ride with Sabrina n Charlie, jingle bells n all a few years ago. Then got handed the reins to drive a minute. I will always remember ….chats of great bits of horse information… Hang on to memories in sad times…they are forever!
My friend, my brother in law what a awesome man you were, I won’t have my friend to torment when I come to Indy but I’ll have all my precious memories & laughs with me always. Rest in Peace
I grew up in the same neighborhood as Chuck and went all through school with him. My sincere condolences to your family. Nancy (Briner) Miller
I was in the Class of ’67 at Southport, and so, younger than Chuck, but I remember him as a sweet and funny, lovely young man. I’m sure he was a blessing to all who knew him all these years. My sympathies to all of his loved ones. Diana Holbrook Lambuth
Rest in peace Chuck. It was a pleasure being part of your family all these years. We washed many a dish at Bob and Jeanne’s over the years,sometimes getting in trouble with silverware going down the disposal! I wish you rest and peace in your new home. I know you will watch over Toni and the kids each and every day. Say hello to your mom and dad,and hugs to Bob and Jeanne. Love you, Terry and Darren.
Sorry to hear of Chuck’s passing. His Dad and mine were good friends at Allison. I grew up knowing Chuck as a mentor during my teenage years as well as later while he and I were working at Allison. One of the major attributes that was engrained into Chuck was his willfullness to do things the ” right” way. No matter who it was he differed with, he would not bend because he knew his position was right due to his knowledge of the situation. I wish I had more of that attribute. RIP, Chuck. Thank you for friendship.
