He was the best Father, Husband and friend that I ever knew. I will always remember all the memories of a great and wonderful life with him.
What a kind, gentle & sweet man he was. His eyes shined most when I would see him watching his wife or his four girls! You could tell that they all meant everything to him. I will miss seeing him smiling constantly & telling Miss Belle to be good. I will forever treasure all the sweet & endearing things I have heard about him and I will continue to hear about him. He was the best MISTER out there!
Charlotte, we will be praying for strength, peace, and comfort for you and your family. Chuck was an amazing, sweet husband, father and grandfather.
Our deepest condolences to Charlotte and the entire family. May you all be blessed with the comfort of friends and family, as well as the many, many precious memories you share.
We send our deepest sympathies to Jane, Matt and the entire family during this unfortunate time. May the new year bring you all strength and courage. Lots of love.
We send our condolences to Charlotte and family. We shall miss Chuck’s sparkling smile and sense of humor. We so appreciae his love of family. Our thoughts are with you.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Wetzel and Vacchio family.
Having known Chuck for over 60 years he was one of the best friends I ever had. When I worked for him he was the best boss I ever had. My deepest sympathy for your whole family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wetzel and Vacchio families. Your memories of your father and friend are to be treasured.
Mrs. Charlotte Wetzel, unfortunately we just learned about your loss! I met Mr. Wetzel in person only once in couple years ago at a neighbor’s house and noticed what a gentle and sweet man he was. It is so sad. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and the Wetzel and Vacchio family. Your neighbors – Minoo & Homa Khanali and the parents.
Dear Charlotte and Family, We send our Prayers and Blessings to all of you. Your family is special and we have had many good times together. Glad I was able to spend time with you and Chuck earlier in Dec. Chuck was a wonderful husband, father and friend and will always be remembered in our hearts. Gods Blessings, Jean Rachner
