It's wonderful to see the outpouring of appreciation for Chuck on this 
list--it's just one of many lists he wrote to with his "sage" advice.  
Many of us in the office knew Chuck well from past USENIX/SAGE 
conferences, and he recently answered the volunteer call to help us 
staff our booth at the SF LinuxWorld.  Ever helpful.

Chuck's address, where he lived with his long-time partner, Valerie 
Acton, (also a USENIX/SAGE member), is posted at the web site below.  
Members of Chuck's family are in town, along with many of his non-Bay 
Area friends, and most are staying at the address posted.   The site 
also contains information about a memorial fund that has been set up:

We'll be happy to forward on any cards that are sent to the office to 
Valerie and his family, but the direct address is:

 7070 Westmoorland Dr.
 Berkeley CA 94705

Per Hal's suggestion, instituting an award in Chucks honor is being 
discussed, and information about it will be posted when decided upon.
