In Remembrance of Chuck Malspeis

To all of our friends and associates:

Many of you have heard that our dear friend and colleague, Chuck Malspeis, died from drowning, while snorkeling in Costa Rica on Friday while on his honeymoon. Words cannot express the loss that his wife, Momi, the family, and all of us are feeling.

Chuck was the heart and Soul of Nova. It was his dream to build a successful company with the people he loved and that loved him. The creation of our company was largely due to his vision, passion and inspiration, and his incredibly diligent hours of work to make it all happen.

Chuck was one of the foremost formulators of aqueous coatings in the printing industry and loved working with the distributors, sales people and customers.

Chuck will be missed more than we can express. As he would want, we will all strive very hard to make sure that his dream of Nova will continue and thrive to meet his high expectations.

Chuck graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from The Ohio State University and has a Masters in Business Administration from University of Cincinnati. He was a diehard Buckeye.

We thank you all for the compassion you have shown and the kind thoughts and prayers.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, June 25 @ 11AM at the Avondale United Methodist Church, 1651 Talbot Ave. Jacksonville Florida 32205 (904-389-1175)

In lieu of flowers, the family request that donations be made to the Avondale United Methodist Church – Roof Raising Fund.
