Condolences
Chuck always greeted me with a huge smile and a pleasant conversation each time we would see one another which usually ended with some laughter. He was one of those folks who left a lasting impression on everyone he met. We are all truly blessed to have crossed paths with him. Please know his suffering is over and he’ll be waiting for us. God Bless!
A kind and caring man. Loved catching up with him on sports. He always valued family tremendously. All that knew him, will miss him.
May the lord care for him and help your family thru these hard times.
I am very, very sorry to hear of the loss of Chuck.
May our good Lord FILL all of you with HIS peace and comfort.
Lord Bless You.

My deepest sympathy to the Barrison family. A great athlete. Have many fun memories from WHS sporting events. I pray that God will give you grace and strength through this time.
So sorry to hear of Chuck’s passing. He was older than me but my brother Mike knew him well. We all grew up on the east side of town and went to the East Side School. I also remember going to Friday night football games to watch Chuck play! He was great! He always spoke to me whenever he saw me and said hi, hows the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
We are sorry to hear of the death of Chuck. When
his boys came home, he would come and “barter” with Lenn for some perch to cook for them. He
always wanted to surprise them. We really enjoyed
talking with him. Our condolences to his family.
I only met him a couple of times when I was visiting my brother whom at the time lived in Willard & who worked with Chuck.
He was a very funny, easygoing & lively person.
My brother has always spoken highly of him and the few times I got to meet him he always made me laugh with his jokes and stories about things to do with the RR.
I’m sure he is missed and my heart goes out to his family for their loss.
My deepest condolences.
I am extremely sorry to read of Chuck’s passing. We were great childhood friends, along with Lanny Castle, and I can clearly remember sitting beside Chuck at our high school graduation on 6/6/69. God Bless Chuck and the entire Barrison family at this most difficlt time. He was a very good man. Coach Paul Mentis sends along his condolences through his son and my friend, John Mentis.

We are so sorry to hear of Chuck’s passing. He always had a smile and a kind word or a joke whenever we saw him. Please know that we are holding you all close in our thoughts and prayers. Greg and Marilyn Sands

Romana, Gloria, and Ms Virginia, I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Chuckie. May the spirit of our Lord give you comfort at this time of your loss. May your fond memories bring the Barrison Family much love and comfort. Nancy Swope-Shern(Scott) Dayton, Ohio.
I was so sorry to hear of your Father’s passing. Children are such amazing assets and joys in our lives. At times they teach us more than we teach them. They are like little sponges, soaking up all that they see and hear. They pick up our good traits and of course our not so good traits. So we are reflections of our parents in some way. Your Father was a wonderful man. I know this because I know his young men. Chuck must have been so proud of you guys and all that you have accomplished. You are reflections of him and him of his God. It does not ease the pain or the loss you feel to know that he is in a better place, but know and believe that he is. If you need anything at all guys during this time, please do not hesitate to call. Shawn, Jermaine & Eric, I think the world of you guys and your family. Again I am sorry to hear of the passing of your Father. Remember time heals all things and so your pain will ease. Be strong and be present for your mother, she is going to need you all more than ever going forward.
Great guy and great athlete. I still have fond memories of Chuck from WHS, so sorry to hear of his passing. God Bless.
As a family we d send our sincerest sympoathy to you and yours at a time like this. There is nothing more sorrowful as the passing of a loved one. All must come to terms with the terible reality of death. Like the famous British Historian Arnold Toynbee stated: “From the moment of birth there is the constant possibility that a human being may die at any moment; and inevitably this possibility is going to become an accomplished fact.” We can only hope for better. Sincerely, The Entire Resch family
