Dear Gutzler family,
My husband and I knew Donna and her husband for many years while he was an engineer at General Dynamics. They were very nice people and added a lot to any community to which they belonged. You were blessed to have them as parents as they had love in their hearts for others.
My husband who has been dead for 10 years worked with Chuck at General Dynamics. He was Dr Allan Wilson, a physicist and mathematician.
Thanks so much for running the obit in the SD Union Tribune and letting the community know.
I remember I knew them through LJ Presbyterian church too.
With sympathy and love to all of you.
