Chuck is with Aaron in Heaven. Aaron's paternal grandfather passed in September 2003. Aaron was devasted but wore his Dress Blues and delivered a very loud and profound eulogy befitting his grandfather. Later, some of Chuck's retired working buddies got to meet and talk with Aaron, at which point they asked Aaron to apply for a job with the sheriff's department there when he got out of the Marines. (I'm not sure which county in Cali, probably Orange, maybe LA ...) but anyway, Aaron asked his dad later for Chuck's sheriff's ring. Doug told Aaron he would have to wait, that he needed time for that decision.
At Aaron's funeral, Doug had the director open up Aaron's casket one more time before they lowered it. Doug gave the funeral director Chuck's ring, and it was placed on Aaron's finger right before his precious body was committed to the earth.
