My heart just sank reading his obituary today. I served in the Army with him while stationed in El Paso back in the 1970s. He,SFC Walker and I shared an office and, I even flew with him as his “co-pilot” once!
He sold me WOW insurance for me and my family. We had some fun times and I will always remember home fondly. Rest in Peace.
Chuck was my first boss with WoodmenLife. Thanks to him seeing something in me I didn’t see, I had a 32 year career with Woodmen. Thank you, Chuck! Hugs to you, Janice! You were an important part of those first few years of my career as well! We had many great times at the Woodmen youth camp on Lake Brownwood!
Will miss you y buddy. It was great having you as a friend so many fun years.
I am so sorry to hear of your passing Chuck. You were like a father to me and gave me a lot of chances as a young man. I would not be where I am today if you hadn’t taken a chance on a young kid. You were a strong leader and a good man. This world could use a bunch more Chuck Holbrooks!
Aunt Joan so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Uncle Chucks hugs
Billy and I ALWAYS had a great time with Chuck. I looked forward to all of his emails. I absolutely loved talking with him . I will miss his emails and him
Worked for Chuck for 16 years in Al. He was a very positive influence to any body he was around. RIP, Chuck.
So sorry for your loss. I have a lot of good memories of him.
Chuck was a great manager and mentor to me. He hired me 30 years ago and I am strong with WoodmenLife due to his training me. I will miss him dearly.
I will miss talking to him at least twice a month. I looked forward to that and he will be terribly missed
I’m so sorry for your loss for the families of his. Please accept my condolences.
Uncle Chuck you always had a big smile and a strong handshake. I wish that I had more time to be in your company. You’ll be greatly missed.
