Growing up in the 70's and 80's on the islands was a magical and sometimes wild adventure. You just never knew who , what, or when something may occur. Some really great memories now that we survived. Anyway, Chuck and all of the Fischer family were a big part of all those unforgettable times. Bless the Fischer family and rest in peace Chucky.

Just wanted to say you will be missed. You instilled more in me than you ever could imagine and I will carry it with me through out my life. Thank you for everything and I will cherish all the times we had together.

Sorry to hear Chuck passed away. I had the pleasure of meeting him in March of this year. He was an inspiration to my son. Helped him in a lot of ways and I know Paul will never forget him or the things he learned from Chuck. Prayers for the family !

As many who know me, Chuck was my god daddy. This man was the greatest man any girl could have in her life. He was like a father figure to me and it hurts constantly to know he's not here anymore. I remember just the other day talking on the phone and telling him I couldn't wait to see him in a couple weeks and I knew my daughter would have had just as much fun. She loved him too. Not only did I lose a god daddy so did my daughter, before she was even born I had asked Chuck to be her God father and he said yes before I could even finish my sentence. Not only did he love me unconditionally, he did everything he could for me. He came to every birthday party, every graduation, and even my baby shower for aurora. He helped me no questions asked whenever I needed it and was always a phone call away when I needed to talk to him. He was my mothers (Mary Page) long time friend and I can say I'm glad she met him and I had the pleasure of being close to him. I'm going to miss his smile, his laugh, his jokes, and being able to go see him any time I come back into town. I know I'll see him again someday and I know he loved me very much. My condolences go out to his family and they too are in my thoughts and prayers. He will forever be remembered.

August 7, 2016 Dear Family, I was so very sadden by the lost of my old time friend Chuckie. Although we haven’t spent a lot of time together lately we definitely did in the seventies and eighties. However, when we did see each other it was normally a quick walk down memory lane. In the seventies and eighties Chuck and I spent lots of time doing carpentry work for Jim Rush Enterprises, going out on his house boat, and riding around in his old car. I believe it was a Buick, but not sure. All I remember is that it was big and we called it the land barge. I do remember Chuckie telling me that he found a lifetime warranty from Minus Mufflers in the glove box. And what did he do? Well, he took the old car by for an inspection of the exhaust system and he got big thumbs up from the inspector. He laughed, “It was free too!” If there ever was a true MacGyver it certainly could have been Chuckie! He knew just about anything you cared to ask him. Quite often he would come down to our house to help us with the boats. My father (Captain Sherman I Helmey) was a grand mechanic and he had his ways for sure. However, when Chuckie arrived at his own conclusion my father tended to listen even though he acted like he did not! I remember this one time that my father and Chuckie were on the Miss Jerry, which was tied to our dock. I am setting the stage..Daddy was at the helm and Chuckie was lying face down on the engine. After making a few adjustments to who knows what, Chuckie said crank her up. Daddy while sitting at the helm pushed the cranking button and the caterpillar cranked up perfectly. However, there were a couple of things that happened and I mean fast. Back in these days you could crank your boat in gear And in some cases this might happen when you weren’t ready for it. Well, when daddy cranked the boat, the throttle wasn’t in idle and the gear handle was in forward. Chuckie did such a great job of getting the Miss Jerry cranked that she just took off. When I heard Daddy’s engine crank, I stood up just as all of this unfolded. The first thing that happened was the boat raced forward pulling out both of the 4x4’s dock corner as if they were tooth pick size. With dock lines dragging 4by4 posts, they grazed the neighbor’s dock and then were headed for the next. All the while Chuckie was trying to get up to help get control of the boat...Somehow Chuckie did manage to get to the helm and shut the boat down before it hit the next neighbors dock. After that, they pulled the boat back around to the dock while dragging the dock lines that were still tied to the 4by4’s. Once at the dock we all did quite a quick make shift so that we could tie the boat up. My father as he most always did was wearing his standard white t-shirt. When he turned his back to us we all looked and could see Chuckie’s foot print on the back of daddy’s shirt. While holding a beer Chuckie said, “Sorry Sherman, there was only one way to the helm, which was up and over your back!” I will miss seeing Chuckie out and around the Island with that signature smile on his face! He will always be remembered by me through all of the things that we did prompting the stories that we told! My sincere condolences goes out to the Fischer family!
