They could have been brothers. They both had comfortable positions for most of their lives. They did more than they had to. They showed leadership and style. They never let manners or decorum get in the way of honesty. They both thought it was a good idea to drink responsibly and that if you did, it was OK for you to own a gun.
They both spent a lot of time engaged in the appeasement of talking apes under fictional pretenses.
There were never a lot of guys around like Phil and Chuck and not as many now, as there used to be. To Chuck we say goodbye and Godspeed, wherever it is you're off to. To Phil, get well soon. There's few enough can do the kind of work you do and none of them left, in that family of yours.
