So sorry to hear this. Have wonderful memories of Chick, love the sound of his laugh. That is a great pic of him. Countless hours were spent in the Linke home growing up, many stories to tell again. Chick taught us pinochle. Tacos for birthdays, skate boarding, large snow banks, trip to KC in the Chevette, talking in R’s, and many more. My sympathies to the family.
