Memories and Condolences

There are people we meet in our life time that always stand out among the rest, Henry Saunders was one of these people for me. When we were kids, he was the man who was fought over for a place at the dinner table so you could be closest to to him, a man that when he was in public people recognized him and were happy to see him. When I look back as an adult I realize what made him so popular, and although he was humerus and charming, he stood for much more. Patience, honesty, and integrity. Three traits I strive for so that someday too, I could be a man like Henry Saunders. Grandson.

What a great loss we are feeling here in Arizona, our Charlie will no longer be here to give the big smile he had for us when we stopped in to visit him and Jody.
Charlie was such a great brother-in-law. There was nothing he would not do for you, he was ready and willing anytime you asked.
We will see you in Heaven. Love you brother.

Barb, I was so sorry to read about your dads passing. I have so many great memories of the times I spent with you and your family. Your dad was always able to keep us teenagers laughing. I still remember the trip to Redfish Lake, we had such a good time. I hope you and your family can find comfort and peace in the memories you have of him.
