As we approach another year without our father in law, grandfather, Dad and friend to many you are still the topic of lots of conversations! Alot has changed over the last 11 years with your Stump joining you a year and half ago to Amber getting married and have your first great granddaughter who you would adore as she is your Monkey's twin. Your Bruiser has become a very good welder and bought his own home. All 3 of your grandchildren are doing very well and you would be so proud. We have had a rough year but I know you were one of many angels during the birth of your great granddaughter and again on the side of that mountain during the traumatic incident in our family. We are surely miss and love you! Keep Stump straight and continue to watch over your family and Rest Easy my father in law!!

Wow! Heaven received an angel almost a year ago. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you. Happy Belated Birthday and Father's Day but it has been a tough year without you and it is hard to this day to explain our pain from the loss of such a GREAT FATHER IN LAW, FATHER, HUSBAND & PAPA!! Continue to be the angel watching over us throughout the days, weeks, months & years to come. Your grandson will be driving on his own soon so please ride with him daily and keep him safe. Love & miss you deeply!! Love always Connie (Squirrel)

“I miss you, I miss your smile, And I still shed a tear, Every once in a while, And even, though it's different now, You're still here somehow, My heart won't let you go, And I need you to know, I miss you, I know you're in a better place, yeah, But I wish that I could see your face, oh, I know you're where you need to be, Even though it's not here with me…….

I miss you so much the pain feels like it will never go away. I hated the holidays it was just a hurtful reminder that you were no longer with us. I can't find a way to move pass your sudden passing I feel like I didn't get to say goodbye the way I should. I remember the Monday before you passed I was suppose to come by the house but I didn't... Because I was getting my nails done. If I would have only taken 15 minutes to come by I would have got to see you one last time. You will be pleased to know I'm taking great care of your wife these days :) I love you and will always miss and remember what a hero you were to me and our whole family. I never heard you say one hateful word about anyone and I always admired that about you along with so many other things. I pray every night to God to tell you how much everyone is missing you and how much you are loved. Forever in my heart and memories (and living room) ! Love Monkey <3

To my favorite father in law, (as you would say) We missed you this holiday season. It is just not the same without you. We have cried & laughed at all the memories. We have memory books in your honor & tears were shed but will bring good memories in time. Please be the angel to watch over your grandson now that he is starting to drive! Thank you for everything! You are loved & missed deeply. Love always, Squirrel

Charles this is to let you know that everyone missed you this Christmas. Your granddaughter (Monkey) couldn't stop crying over missing you. You are alway on our minds and in our hearts. But knowing that you are in a better place is somewhat piece of mind. I know that you will always look over those three grandchildren and we will never forget the good hearted person that you were. God be with your family at all time. Forever greatful for knowing you.

A week ago, today, we lost Charles- it rocked our world with a vengeance. So sudden and unexpected, it's hard to resolve the permanence of it all. There are so many things about him that I will miss- his easy-going way, his advise, his help, and his little chuckle when he was amused with whatever was being said. Even though the words 'I Love You' weren't spoken- they were shown in his own subtle way. I remember this past summer, when we sold our trailer & I was upset about it- Charles put his arm around my shoulder and said "Sugar, you're always welcome at our place". That was just his way, always trying to 'make it better' in his own little way. I really do have the BEST in-laws- and they are loved dearly. Charles- I'm really gonna miss you.......Love you- Nan Balderson (daughter-in-law)

Dear Dad, It's been a week now and tears still fall. My heart still broken. Friends & family tell me that you are in a better place and in no pain now. Well I hope that is true because where I stand there's alot of pain. I hope someday I understand why you left so soon. The only thing I do know is my DAD & BEST FRIEND is no longer with me. You will be missed more than words can say. Dad, I know I hardly ever told you this but I LOVE YOU! Your Son Charles Justin Balderson JR (Chuck)

I just heard about Charles and am still in shock and very saddened by his passing. He was a wonderful man, and I always enjoyed spending time with the two of you at the Moose Lodge. I watched the two of you playfully banter each other and remember thinking how happy you looked together. My heart breaks for you and your family now. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.

My father is gone and each day since has been so very long. I miss him so much that I can't express he was my leaning post and he was the BEST. He was always there for me right or wrong. Dad knew how to keep me strong. As he is no longer here and my tears are no more. I know my Dad will continue to keep his family secure. I can't Thank him enough for all he has done. Dad you were always number 1. As I feel so sick and my thoughts start to drift I see his hat turned backwards and knew he was ready to get with it. I wish you hadn't left so soon as WE had so much more to do. I LOVE YOU DAD.
Your Son and Best Friend, I will keep my head up and look forward to the day we will sit and talk again.

My thoughts and prayers goes out to the Balderson Family. He will truly be missed and loved. Charles went out of this world doing what he loved (plumbing) and now God has a wonderful man and one that knows his plumbing. There are just not enough words to describe what a wonderful husband, father and grand-father that Charles was.
He loved his wife, sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren and they loved him just as much. He will truely be missed.
God Bless you all
