R.I.P. Chuck Fellows
« on: March 10, 2019, 03:47:53 PM »
I just saw that Chuck Fellows passed in late February. I will miss the great engines he made available to our hobby. I had the pleasure of speaking to him when I needed some help with one of his engines. He will be missed by many.   Thank You Chuck.

Dave, thank you for passing along this sad news. Like many here, I have followed all of Chuck's projects and builds. He was a huge asset to this forum, and to the hobby in general. He will be missed greatly here, but fortunately his legacy will live on in the pages of MEM. Rest in peace Chuck.

That Sux!

Chuck was a great member and a great contributor to this forum. Very generous with his knowledge and work. We could all try to be a little more like him. He and other members like him make this forum the great place that it is.

Rest In Peace Chuck.

R.I.P Chuck.
Although our hobby is not one of the bigger ones, Chuck helped to make it great with his well thought out designs and pleasant demeanor.
He will live on through our archives, and I'm sure there will be many more of his designs built.

One of the kindest, gentlest, innovative men I never met, but, had the opportunity to learn from. Will sadly be missed.

Chuck was one of my heroes. He did some really innovative engine design and building, and was always ready to help if you asked him. Our hobby will miss Chuck a lot.---Brian
