Chuck was very dedicated to his position as Colerain Twp. Emergency Management Coordinator. During floods, windstorms, fires, etc. he was always willing to check on the situation and make sure the residents were safe and taken care of. Few people in the township realized the hours he put in for training and assuring that they were safe and cared for.
I wish his family the very best during this trying time.
Randy Gockley, Lancaster County Emergency Management
