When asked what his most memorable story about Park Lawn is, Chuck said, “I walked into Park Lawn’s Coleman Vocational Center a while back and saw that our family friend, Wally was the Featured Artist of the month! I was moved to purchase the painting and after doing so, it hangs in a prominent place at our Company Service Center. It’s a privilege to serve and an opportunity to bring any knowledge, resources and business expertise I can to help fulfill Park Lawn’s Mission and to grow our programs and services for our clients and their families. I see how much Park Lawn has meant in the quality of life my friend Wally has been able to enjoy along with all of his friends at Park Lawn too!”
