RE:  Charles L. (Chuck) Simons, Manager of Environmental Affairs, Greensburg, PA

With a heavy heart I report that Chuck Simons passed away last evening after a short illness. (He had a heart attack this past Wednesday and was hospitalized in Greensburg.)  Please pass this information on to others who may have known Chuck or worked with him in the past.

Chuck was always on top of the regulatory environmental issues that Lake Lynn was involved with.  To continue with Chuck’s work in keeping Lake Lynn a model operation for regulatory and environmental compliance please use me as a single point of contact for Lake Lynn unless you receive additional direction.
