When I looked up the word "Friend' in the dictionary it said "Chuck McDonald". Chuck and I were fellow Rotarians in Edwardsville IL since 1986 and grew to be friends after that. During the Rotary Annual Citrus sale, he graciously helped my wife Joan and I deliver ATT's large citrus order in downtown St. Louis, with only one request- that Joan get him a triple-shot espresso from Cafe Breve. We attended numerous Cardinal Baseball games together and Chuck regularly invited some of his friends from Rotary and the law-enforcement community to attend the annual University of Illinois and Missouri Bragging Rights Basketball Game, usually paired with a meal at Chuck's favorite Italian restaurant, Cunetto's on The Hill. Chuck, I will miss you, my friend!
