Eunice, Cathy, and Carol,
Please forgive me...I JUST FOUND OUT! I live in a fog and really don't connect to Gainesville. I think all of you know how much I loved Chuck. He was my favorite boss and a wonderful friend from whom I sought advice quite often. I loved referring to him as my boyfriend, knowing that Eunice always found humor in my reference. Eunice, I will be by soon. Girls, Know how much I love you and how sorry I truly am at your loss.

My deepest sympathy goes out to you. When I first heard the news, I couldn't believe that Chuck was gone. His strength and resolve was one of the hallmarks of our friendship. My prayers go out for you in this time of grief.

Other than my own father, no individual had as much influence on my life. Glad I told him that once but wish I had kept in touch. My best to his family. Tom Vandiver

To all the family,
Chuck was my high school classmate in Moultrie. We were good friends. I am really saddened by his passing. I so enjoyed seeing him at reunions in recent years.

Dear Family - Bobbie and I just heard of Charles' passing. Charles and I were good friends in high school and were fellow trombonists in the band. He was always a straight shooter and a fine gentleman. He was raised by a fine set of parents. All of us will miss him. You can know that our memory of him is of a wonderful friend.

My heartfelt condolences to the Family. I was privileged to play GHS baseball for 'Coach Mac'. He taught and gave the team so much more than just the
fundamentals of the game. He helped shape our future.

Mr. McDonald gave me my first chance to teach during summer school when I was still a para-professional. It was so wonderful finally having a space of my own to do what I had gone to school to do! I later taught ESOL when he was over the program, had him in a Master's class at Brenau, and taught with Eunice at GEA. The McDonalds are Gainesville City to me. Rest In Peace, Chuck.

Coach Mac has been my lifelong inspiration. My career in science was due to his encouragement when he was my physics teacher in high school and as my JV coach he was a tough yet incredibly kind taskmaster who bolstered my self-confidence.
I am so grateful that he was able to make our 50th reunion this year of the class of 1967 and that I could speak with him presonally and thank him for his lifelong dedication to education and youth.
Thank you coach. You will always be alive in my memoried.

Coach Mac made science so much fun. His test always had questions with students' names in them so we looked forward to them. He inspired me to go on to be a science teacher and touch the next generation. We worked together at GMS (I was student teaching) and at Brenau. I'll miss seeing him with the group at Longstreet. He was a great human being!!!!
