This list has it right: he was warm, funny, generous, kind, smart, and had real integrity. I too read his review of Visionary Film when it came out, and I do agree that Chuck did open up really important ways of thinking about the subject.

He got me lots of material in advance. His paper was quite interesting and I enjoyed engaging with it. I found one way of humorously tweaking it in my response, and I still remember Chuck’s hearty laugh when I launched my little one-liner. Now that is generosity.

If you haven’t seen it, having a look would be one way to honor his memory.
