Different generation here. I liked him as a flamboyant wrestler. Liked him in Predator and The Running Man. My like runs out after that.
Randy and Joshua, thank you for the thoughts. I know Chuck would be appreciative.
I always teased him in a friendly manner. Calling him Chuckles and Chuckelicious. He was retirement age and I'm sure he didn't appreciate my friendly teasing, but he took it like a champ and managed to throw some back my way, which was totally against his nature. He didn't have many friends, and not many knew he would give the shirt off his back to help them. He was an Okie, through and through. I know this because both of my parents are Okies.
Rest in peace, my friend. I hope you don't mind my calling you my friend.
