Hi. I went to school 12 years with your dad and we had a wonderful time critiquing everyone. He had a wonderful sense of humor. I think of him often when something sounds like what he would have said. I will miss him and I will keep you and your family in my prayers. You have my deepest sympathy, Andrea Mach Slatinsky

Dear Charlie,
Our deepest sympathy upon the passing of your Dad and Brother, Sam. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Due to my work schedule, I will not be able to attend your Dad's services.
Ricky went to school for twelve years with your Dad and knew your Grandmother and Grandfather Rhodes and was honored to be your Godfather. Your Dad was best man at our wedding where you were the ring bearer. We look at pictures from our wedding and think fondly of you, your Dad and your Mother. Your Dad and I played on the basketball team and I stayed at the house on Brandersbrige Road on numerous occasions when my parents traveled. I only have positive memories about your family and their kindness to me and Betsy when we were first married. I hunted and fished with your Father and Grandfather from age 11 to age 21. Your Dad was a very knowledgeable hunter and great basketball player. We won third place our senior year in the Sate Catholic League tournament and we were the smallest school entered. Sort of like the movie "Hoosiers". Betsy and I hope to meet with you and your wife Lisa and reminisce about your Mom and Dad and how we grew up together.
Again, our deepest sympathies.
Rickie and Betsy Clark
