I have known Chuck and some of the Davis family for decades. I won’t forget when my friends and I enjoyed a memorable afternoon at the cabin in Hocking Hills. My pictures are keepsakes, which captured the beauty of a fall day and Chuck’s love of the outdoors. So thankful for our visit. He will be missed by many.

We got to know Chuck over the years at gatherings for holidays, birthdays or his grandkids events they were participating in. He was always such a kind & caring man. His love for his family was endearing. I remember him talking about his land & the cabin he enjoyed so much and knowing that is where his last day was spent gives one a sense of calmness & peace for him as he loved this place so much. Our condolences to you & your family. Cherish all of those wonderful times you shared & so sorry for your loss🙏
