Dearest Barbara & Family,
I can still hear neighbor Chuck in the morning, either retrieving the paper, taking the cans out to the street, or warming up that beast of a truck of his. He always had a nice word or funny antidote for our family and we will greatly miss him. Barb, our sincere thoughts are with you. -The Pomettas
