Chuck had a very long battle with cancer. He would want to thank the doctors and nurses at the Radiology Group, the Southern Cancer Center, the Urology and Oncology Specialists, and the nurses and aides at the Kindred Hospice Group. A very special thank you, to Dr. Gino Divitorio, who was a special friend, Doctor and Advisor.
