I am saddened to share the news of the passing of Chuck Safford. He was one of the greatest influences on me when I attended Mesa College back in the 1970's where Chuck taught the classes for the engineer's union. He was a man of distinction and a gentleman of the highest order. Many of us in Southern California learned from him. One of the greatest impressions he made on me was to always carry myself as a professional. Chuck epitomized all the greatest attributes of a true professional.

RIP my old mentor. Thank you for your contributions to the profession.

RIP
His obituary is amazing. Another WW2 vet and much more. Thanks for sharing! Jp

Chuck was one of my mentors also. I took classes from him also at Mesa Collage preparing to take my LS exam in 1977. Years later, I reviewed one his R of S’s for the San Diego County Surveyor’s Office and had questions regarding his survey procedure. Chucks response was “where did you learn that; I didn’t teach it to you?” Chuck and I did not always agree on things, but we were always friends. RIP my friend.
