Written with love, this heritage project captures moments from a life well-lived. Grandpa Chuck’s life was full of extraordinary adventures and surprising twists, like falling into a swap teeming with alligators. This captivating narrative captures Grandpa Chuck’s memories by recreating them through vivid illustrations based on the family’s photo archive. Each anecdote is an opportunity for Chuck’s family to connect with him in the past while preserving his memory for the future.

It’s not too often that a family has a personalized record of quotes, stories, and reimagined images that capture the love, excitement, and choices that brought them to the present moment. My Grandpa Chuck memorializes the wisdom, bravery, and confidence that defined the lives of Charles and his wife, Shirley. With hope to inspire future generations of his family, author Spencer Reese plans on sharing My Grandpa Chuck exclusively with his family for many years to come.
