It was always a delight when Betsy and Chuck came to visit the shop. Very friendly and gracious people who loved their son, Lee, and grand daughter to no end. Always loved seeing Chucks latest vehicle of choice, lol. May he rest in peace with his wonderful wife.

Sending condolences to the family of Chuck Megahan. Chuck was a wonderful neighbor and good friend for many years. We lived across the street from Chuck and Betsy and enjoyed their company and many of life’s experiences together.
I could always count on Chuck to take Dublin for a walk while Betsy and I shared news. Chuck was always an avid sports fan but also a kind, generous and conscientious neighbor. He enjoyed landscaping design with Betsy’s suggestions but truly loved the outdoors and his personal herd of deer which camped behind the house.
He will be greatly missed by all of us in the Highlands. I feel as if we all grew up together here as we raised our families and moved on in our lives.
I’m sure he’s happiest now with Betsy.
They had a great love for their family and grandchildren. I’m sure he has found peace.
With much love and sweet memories from Donna Thachik
