Bro-in-Law Chuck by Mia Lowry

The first time I met Chuck was when Suzie brought him home from Phoenix for some big church service to meet us. I did not know what to think of him because I was use to seeing my brothers with girlfriends, but my sister with a boyfriend was too much to handle. I was 13ish at the time.

Then we moved up to Glendale and Suzie was engaged. I was happy and sad. I really did not know how to feel about it, but was really excited Tonie and I would have our own rooms. Chuck was really nice and super funny to me. I can still remember his jokes at the wedding when he was being teased by his family.

When I moved in with them I really got to know Chuck and his sense of humor. He is such a good Dad. I can still see his face when they handed Zaq to him. It was a mixture of awe, supreme joy and then concern for Suzie. He asked the doctor within seconds of getting Zaq how his wife was doing. Then when told she was OK, his face relaxed and then softened as he looked upon his son. It was neat to see him as a day. I knew then how great of a Dad he would be and how much he really loved my sister Suzie.

Zaq would follow him everywhere and I could tell Chuck love(d)(s) it. His face beamed with pride as he related how old he was and how he could hit a baseball, throw a football, etc... Zaq was a chip of the ol' block in the sports department (plus his Mom was not too shabby at sports either).

I can still remember one day we went to visit them at the house on 59th & Northern. You could see how happy he was to have a wife that would watch sports with him and keep track of all the stats of the game for him.

He is an excellent coach and you can see he loves to coach football if you ever get a chance to watch him at a game. I am very grateful he is in our family and Suzie got a good guy for a husband.
