Janet, Scott. Sorry for your loss. Uncle Charlie was always entertaining at family gatherings. Opinionated, Outspoken, Yet Sympathetic and loving, I will always remember him as one of my favorite uncles.

Janet, Scott, Greg and Matthew,
It is with very fond memories of both your mom and dad that I write this. They were long time friends of Millie and Ray Johnson (both passed), and myself, through Service League. They are both missed very much. Know they are together at last.

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." Psalm 116:15
Janet, your dad was such a dear, sweet man. I always got a warm, receptive smile and hug from both him and your mom. They are in Heaven with our Father and with each other now, but the rest of us have truly lost a great, loving couple that blessed so many.
