It was my first pump restoration about 20 years ago and someone told me to contact Chuck for parts, etc. Over the years we talked frequently and he once sent me an old tin "contains lead" sign for my Wayne 615 yard ornament pump for free (it's still on the pump). Chuck was born in Nebraska and don't remember how he ended up in N.Y., so we would always talk about his Nebraska roots.

One of the good guys that will be missed by those who knew him.
