    Marilee,
    I am so sorry to hear about Chuck’s passing. His smiling face with you on his arm at the AUG will be missed. I will very much miss talking about old cars with him and visiting with both of you.
    Sincerely,
    Chuck and Tina Linden

    I grew up in Fort Covington and was a very good friend of Chuck’s sister, Deanna. I now live in Rochester and I am so grateful that the obituary included the info about where he grew up. I knew him as ‘Buster. My prayers and sympathy are with him and all of you.

    We would like to express our deepest condolences to the Holden family. I had known Chuck when I was working at Ginna and RG&E and cannot forget his dedication, commitment and willingness to help fellow employees to make Ginna safe and a first class nuclear station. I will miss Chuck but will always remember him as a good friend.
