Condolence: During our MWR time, you have never made me feel incompetent while working for you, instead you trusted me. You made it fun to work for you and with you. You embraced my whole family with warmth and for that, I thank you. Chuck, my sisters and my parents thank you. We enjoyed your sense of humor and respected your character. Your humbleness made you one of a kind. It’s so surreal that you are no longer here with us. Our hearts ache for Ms. Ann, your wife and partner for life. Mr. Ghezzi, you are and you were a friend, our “godfather”, a colleague and a mentor. We love you Mr. Ghezzi and you will be missed. Love, Loida and Chuck Murphy
