Our WFS Family want to extend our heartfelt gratitude and thanks to the entire community, the police, and the paramedics during our tragic loss and time of need. Lily and Rose for the statue and beautiful flower arrangement were a beautiful touch to bring a smile in our sorrowed time. The food that was provided by members of El Paso community truly touched our hearts. Your unwavering support, care, and dedication during this incredibly difficult time have provided us with strength and comfort. We will always be grateful for your presence and the compassion you’ve shown us.

With Love and Gratitude WFS Family

In Loving Memory

WFS lost a real one — and let’s be honest, we definitely heard him coming long before we saw him.

Chucky wasn’t just a coworker or a friend, he was a full-volume experience. You could always count on him for contagious laughter, brutally honest opinions (whether you asked or not), and a voice that somehow carried down the midway.

You may have been a pain in our ass at times and accident prone but you were our Chuckles.

Chucky, thank you for the time, the heart, and the legacy you leave behind. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

We all know the other WFS family who have passed are waiting with pacifiers up there for you!

Our thoughts are with his family, our family and all who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace.

With love and sympathy from your WFS family.
