In words quoted by TV Insider from Ree’s blog post, she recalled both his generosity and his place in the family: “Many of you know Chuck as Pa-Pa, which is what we all called him.” She also said that “his heart was open and generous, and his family meant everything to him.”

“Remembering Chuck,” an episode of The Pioneer Woman, aired on October 7, 2023. Its episode listing describes a celebration of his life featuring some of his favorite recipes. It was a televised tribute nearly a year after the family’s November 2022 funeral, not coverage of that service. IMDb’s episode listing gives the air date and summary; current streaming availability is not established there.
