I will miss you little brother. You were so talented and smart. When either of us were driving, we would talk at length about most anything. I will miss those conversations. You had a special marriage. I know Christy and our family are really going to struggle with your leaving us far too early. I will miss you.

I will miss you Uncle Charles. You gave me such a hard time when I was little. You were the first person to take me on a super fast drive down the gravel roads to the farm which I promptly got you in trouble for! I have lots of great memories that I will hold on to and share with my kids. Love you
