Dear Jane and family,
You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband, father and grandfather Charlie. He was a kind man and will be missed my many. I prayed for him daily and now I will continue to pray to him. Fondly, Pat Matusek

Jane and Family,
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at the passing of your husband and father. There are two special thoughts in my heart and mind-the first is many years of hearing Mom say Dad wouldn't fly with any other pilot all those years ago (love the picture of Shoo Shoo Baby) and the second seeing the collection of little wood sticks that Crutch made into a flying plane! May your memories bring you comfort at this difficult time.
Love,
Tami (Tonon) DeGroot
