I'm saddened to announce to the thread here the passing of Chuck Miller. He was one of the first old "Mulhollanders" I met back in 2007, and was one of the kindest guys I ever. Always had a good story and was extremely welcoming.
Paul Kramer (of AutoKennel) was there when Chuck had his heart attack and subsequent car accident on the current R-Gruppe Treffen. These are his words from his Instagram post.

"Yesterday, my dear friend Chuck Miller passed away doing what he loved with the ones he loved at our annual R Gruppe Treffen.
On a farm road just outside of Santa Maria, Chuck suffered from a cardiac arrest and as a result lost control of his 911 on a straight section of road. He was directly behind me and my dad. We were one of the first on scene performing CPR followed by other more qualified members. The medical emergency response was swift and they managed to maintain a pulse until he got to the hospital.
Unfortunately, he never regained consciousness.
I met Chuck in 2002 at my first R Gruppe Treffen. His mild nature, warm smile and boundless kindness attracted everyone he met. We were all his friend.
Chuck was truly loved and will be deeply missed. The shock of yesterday’s events is numbing.
Today we drive for you Chuck. Our hearts go out to his family and his huge friend network, who are basically his family. We will NEVER forget you Chuck. You were loved by so many.
Peace to you my friend."
