Family & Friends,
We want to thank everyone for attendig the services and memorial. We really appreciate everyone's support during this time. We would also like to thank whoever kept this Guest Book going. We hope that everyone will sign in and add some of the stories that were told at the above events, and add more as you remember them. We will be able to print them out and keep them forever. Although both Mom and Dad's memory will be with us forever, it's nice to hear other family and friends feelings and recollections. We will be adding some other photos we have found and encourage everyone else to also. Again, we thank you for all your love and support.

Leonard,
I wish you and your family my deepest condolences in the loss of your dad. "Chuck" was a great guy, and gave lovingly to me as if I was one of his own sons! He is now with your Mom in Heaven, and enjoying a good camping experience with all the other angels! We'll all miss him!
