Chuck was a well-known collector of U.S. Krag and Springfield 1903 rifles, and posted frequently on this and other collector boards. He was a founding member of the Krag Collectors Association, and was formerly on the Board of Directors of the Idaho Automatic Weapon Collectors Association. He was reknowned for his encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Krag and Springfield, as well as his enthusiasm and willingness to share that knowledge with others. Chuck was one of those rare people who not only made friends everywhere he went, but also with fellow gun collectors around the world, who never had the chance to meet him in person.
In lieu of funeral services, Chuck's family has planned a celebration of his life on August 28, at Municipal Park in Boise, Idaho. If you can't be there in person, feel free to send a final volley downrange in his honor, or cast a line in your favorite trout stream, or just tip back a cold one on your back porch. He would like that.
Adios, Amigo! You will be missed.
