I didn't know him as Charles. I knew him as Chuck. He was very charming, very charismatic, very handsome, very nice looking, always had a shirt and tie on, always very well put together. If you could put a label on it, I would say it's somewhere between a politician and a Hollywood actor, you know, always had kind of an air about him.

Not an, I wouldn't say an arrogant air, but he carried himself very well.

Will Zekko, knew Chuck Stewart kind of intimately, at least in the way a chatty hairstylist

in a chic salon has a window into each client's life.

And he'd been following the news closely, ever since his regular client had been shot in such a public, horrifying way.

I remember the day it was on the news, he's being released from the hospital,

And Will? Well, he likes it that way.

Well, where else could you get your hair done and your head shrunk at the same time?

Because people would tell you stuff, and I'd be like, I don't want to know that.

You know, Ted Kennedy's first wife, Joan Kennedy, came to me for a little while,

and then she starts to tell me these things. I'm thinking, I don't want to know. I don't want to

know what's going on. You know, so it was a pretty intimate thing, and what people tell you,
