Not sure what to say?

Rodney and Jamie Lynne, I'm sorry for the loss of your father. He is gone, but you will always have your memories. Hold them close and find comfort in them.

On behalf of Chemical Workers Local 405 Illinois American Water we would like to send our condolences on the passing of our great coworker Chuck. As an Operator at our main filter plant Chuck was unmeasurable. Before an operator as a laborer for local100 Chuck by himself dismantled the 200 foot tall smokestack located at the main plant brick by brick from the top down. Illinois American had to hire Chuck! Great man and will be missed!

My deepest sympathies. May the "God of all comfort," help to ease the pain of your grief during this time.(1 Cor 1:3,4)

Charlie was one of those special first cousins. He was always so protective and compassionate toward me. I think we understood each other in our need for privacy and our need to be alone. I will miss him. I loved him.

I have nothing but sweet memories of Charlie, he always was so much fun to be around. Much love to a great man with a wonderful family. God bless you all.
