Deepest condolences to the Gates family.
Uncle Chick was my fathers best friend, The Gates’ would visit our home at least once a week. What I remember the most were his stories and his laugh. Uncle Chick was like a 2nd father to us. I will miss him terribly and I send all my love to Aunt Barb, Mike and Stacey. We will always be family.
Though we've never met, I've heard so many wonderful things from Stacey. Rest in peace ❤️
Miss you so much, Pops. ❤️❤️❤️
Prayers and memories to our lifelong friend Chick. Squibs go to sea! RIP brother
