In
Memory of Chuck Sepcsik
Today 9/23/00 I attended his funeral. I felt so out of place for some reason. I hated the thought of Chuck being gone and the fact of such. I guess I am living in denial. I know he is gone but I don't feel he is and my mind doesn't want to except the fact. Death is so hard to deal with I guess. His family and friends where there along with most of the people he and I work with. After we attended the funeral and went to the reception.After that a couple of us: James Sullivan, Mike Stevens, Jimmy Bryant and his wife Lee-Ann, Chris Peterson, and Chucks step son Steve along with me in James' van to the beach to make a toast to Chuck with 2 bottles of Chianti because that is the wine Chuck liked to drink. Tammy, Glenn Harris, and Randy met us there. We drank to the old times and reminisced about the things he liked and shared. All the good times! It was a very comforting feeling. After the wine was gone we walked down the Ft. Pierce Jetty and shared feelings about Chuck. While we were out there it was pretty calm. Then all of a sudden out of no where a big wave came over the rocks and got a couple of us all wet. Steve exclaimed "that's Chuck for you!" as if Chuck had sent the wave! It was uncanny how it came out of no where. Steve said that is Chucks way of saying thanks for the toast and that he knew where there! We all smiled! We walked back to the van and went home. I
kept the bottles and cup and they are in my wall in a glass case in
memory of Chuck. |
