I believe the reference made by Alan, in the initial post in this thread "I know you were a friend of his and had come here to collect some things from his flat in Whitefield." was intended for me, and I will contact Alan to help out, if I can.
In case Alan does not read the messages on the forum, I will pass on the sentiments to him and Chuck's family.
A sad day indeed............

Bill, you are correct and I advised Alan of that. In his second letter to me he said he later realized that it was you that visited him and it was me that he came to visit in California. His elderly aunt lives just up the freeway from me a short distance. His brother lives in Los Angeles. I had hoped he would be able to come over again this year but he told me about 3 or 4 weeks ago that he was afraid he had made his last trip to the states. Chuck was a native of California.
Thanks to all for your posts. Chuck was a great man and inspiration to all the members of this forum. He never stopped trying to master his music and instruments.
Best to all
