Chuck and I were childhood friends back at Zachary Taylor Elementary School. What a great friend he was and every memory of him is great. 

I remember Chuck from my youth and high school. Chuck was smart, fun, had a great smile (smirk) and I laughed well with his sense of humor. He's bringing a smile to my heart now as I remember him. Enjoy your peace Chuck. Great person. You are remembered.

Some of my best times when I was young were spent with Chuck.  Halloween, July 4th, Christmas— you’d find us together any of those times.  My parents liked Chuck an awful lot, too, which I can’t say for all my friends back then.  

We spent a lot of time at each other’s houses.

I still remember Chuck taking the phones apart and hooking them up outside to make phone calls.  I tried to do the same thing and we wound up down one South Central Bell phone.  But later on Chuck fixed it for us.

I also remember him using his CB radio on the boat at Lake Cumberland.  A quote from Chuck about this:  “This CB is really a base unit, not a mobile.  But now that I’ve got it rigged for the boat, it’s a MOBILE BASE!”  

You could pick up our signal anywhere on that giant lake.  Good times.

I won’t say anything about any antics later on in our youth... well maybe a little.  Sometimes we’d tool around in Mr. Nesbitt’s (Chuck’s parents were both great to me as well) Ford LTD.  Let’s just say the fact that it looked a lot like a police car combined with Chuck’s ability to wire up a PA in the car allowed for some good-hearted fun in Cherokee Park on many a night.  Sorry, back-seat kissing couples.  I apologize now for parking behind you, throwing in the bright lights, and turning on the PA to ask if you had been drinking.

One thing:  I guarantee you nothing we ever did was really mean.  Chuck was just naturally a good guy by nature.  I think of our good times often, and sometimes even tell the tales, of which there are many.

I will miss you, Chuck.  What I wouldn’t give for one more time at the Lake with you.



I browsed the LDRA photo site yesterday and as I looked at the pictures I found of Chuck, Nancy and Bear over the years they made me smile and some made me laugh out loud as I remembered the moment that was captured.  Chuck, you were a good man and I enjoyed knowing you. You also passed the “Gus” test which sealed the deal for me.   Follow the Rainbow my friend and say hello to Bear and Gus for me!!!   Gail

I'm so sorry that Chuck is gone.  Nancy, I'm sure you feel shaken apart.  Many a time my late husband especially looked forward to seeing Chuck at the dog park.  Usually, it was to talk about his cars, but I'm sure there was more that they shared.  Such a sense of humor he had! Let me know if I can help in any way.

My heart is with all of you through this grieving time. Know that everything Chuck did for us at the Sawyer Dog Park was and continues to be so greatly appreciated! 

Chuck was a great friend and we spent many hours working together working with LDRA at their Dog Parks. He will be greatly missed. Condolences to his wife.  

Nancy,   At this difficult time please know my love,  prayers, and hugs will always be with you,    Much Love, Aunt Ellen

Nancy and Family, I am so sorry to hear about Chucks passing. Growing up in Louisville living behind you guys were fun times. Did we drive Chuck crazy or did he drive us crazy. 
All the chocolate chip cookie dough we ate at your house amoung so many other things we did. Prayers for Chuck and his family.
Thinking of you Nancy ♥️

Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you

Chuck was always so nice and welcoming. He always had something funny to say! Although I have not seen him or been to the dog park in years, I often thought about him and his wife Nancy. 
He will truly be missed by many. Our world needs more people like him! 

It was my sophomore year at Westport and Chuck had taken me and a couple of friends through Sleepy hollow. Prior to going, Chuck made a point of telling me that the "witches" would paint the names of their victims on rocks in sleepy hollow. That was the rumor back then,, that wit hes worshipped at Sleepy Hollow. Little did I know that earlier that day Chuck and the other two friends had painted my name as well as my boyfriend's name on rocks and the road with florescent paint. Well you can guess what happened next...Chuck droves us right to where they had painted the rocks and road and scared the crap out of me! Just one of many pranks he used to play. Many wonderful memories from Marching Band too. Love you Chuck and rest in peace my friend. 

Chuck was such a nice friendly guy, never a mean word.
I remember all the parties and cookouts we had at the Scott's house growing up; what great times! 
Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss, if you need an ear, I am here.

Chuck, I have so many memories, and all of them are wonderful. You brought so much joy to people’s lives and are sorely missed already. You were like family and we can’t believe you’re gone. Take care, my friend. Rest In Peace. Nancy, please know that my family and I are here for you. Anything you need, just call! Love to you! Carol Scott
