Formerly of Middletown, NY

Charles Seibert, 73, former owner of the Dolson Ave. McDonald's in Middletown, NY, passed away on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 in Syracuse after a brief illness.

Carolyn:

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. The story hour you and Chuck had at McDonalds gaive my children so many memories. We know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I know he is in heaven free from all the pain he suffered. My thoughts are with you.

Seibert Family,

I have fond memories of growing up with Christa and the rest of the family. I still remember the trip to Myrtle Beach with the 3 of us (Christa, Elizabeth, and I) under the watchful eye of Mr. Seibert and the trip to Purdue to check out the university. You are in my thoughts.

With deepest sympathy.

Carolyn, I am so sorry for your loss. I only have good thoughts and memories of Chuck working so hard at McDonalds, for the store and the customers he served. With delight he learned to make those ice cream cones and proudly handed them out. What a great honor to have known him. May God's peace be with you knowing he is in God's hands. Prayers of comfort during your time of loss.
With love,
Tenise

A wonderful person has passed from this earth. Mr. Seibert showed great compassion and caring for humanity. There was a love of learning that will live on in the history of Middletown through his kindness to the Library.
