PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA -- Pima County Board of Supervisors Chair Sharon Bronson provided the Board and the public an update from County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry's family on the progress he is making recovering from injuries he sustained Oct. 23 while bicycling downtown. She read the following statement from Mr. Huckelberry's wife, Maureen Huckelberry.
"Chuck is doing better. He's made slow but steady progress over these past 10 days. The nature of his injuries requires us to be patient and celebrate the small victories as they come each day. I know there is a lot of curiosity about when he might return to work. Chuck's wonderful team of doctors remain optimistic that he will recover and be back in the office dictating all those memos I know you all love to receive. But right now, we're focused on how Chuck is doing today and whether today was better than yesterday. On behalf of Chuck and our entire family, I want to share how appreciative and grateful we all are for the outpouring of support and concern for Chuck. It's been truly incredible and I am deeply touched to know how much he means to all of you. Thank you."
