Our sympathies are with you. There is no one like our fathers, brothers, spouses.
Gary, you delivered medical parcels when my mom was in hospice care and were so kind as to make your delivery quietly and not disturb Mom.
Our prayers are with your entire family for comfort and peace of mind.
Chuck was a friend to many, and had many friends. His door was always open to come in and sit a spell, and the coffee pot was always on. He always had a smile, a joke to make you laugh. He loved telling hunting stories, and had many of them. We have such fond memories of him, and he is sadly missed by all who knew him.
Florence-sending heart felt sympathy to you and your family. Get in touch with me after things calm down-would love to see you again.
Love and Hugs,
Theresa
Chuck was my neighbor growing up when we lived near Swift Hill. Please extend my condolences to all the family.
Happy Dad’s Day. I will miss you
To a wonderful uncle, who was quick to smile and always appreciated a good joke; Uncle Chuck had a wonderfull sense of humor. Always willing to share, trade or just plain help someone out in a time of need, you will be forever missed by “Dudley” and big brother Clarence (Ed). Condolences.
Florence & family
Sorry to hear about Chuck’s passing…
