Mrs. Moody and family, My prayers are with you at this very difficult time. Chuck
was one of the sweetest men I ever met. I don't ever remember talking to him when he didn't have a smile on his face.
He was truly a gentleman and a scholar. It was my honor and privilege to know and work with him the past 20 years at the
Military History Institute. Chuck will be greatly missed by MHI and the many, many patrons he helped over the years.

day he was there and touched our lives as much as he contributed to the advancement of the USAHEC. He will be missed by everyone.
