Charles "Chuck" Sackett
POUGHKEEPSIE, NY – Mr. Charles H. "Chuck" Sackett, age 91, went to eternal rest on July 25, 2020, at Vassar Brothers Medical Center after a long illness.

     Chuck worked for many years as a master carpenter of which he was proud.
     Chuck had many hobbies including golf, cards, hunting, horse-racing, cooking, baking, bird watching and his dogs. He lived life to the fullest.
     May God watch over us and give us peace. May the Angels guide him to his new home.
