Not sure what to say?

Dear John and Trish - Please accept our deep sympathy on the loss of "Pops". Enjoyed hearing about him and wish we could have known him and heard about his interesting life. Your parents, like Sherry's parents, were card carrying members of The Greatest Generation. We are blessed to be their children.

Sincerely
Sherry and Pete Peck

Chuck,

I was a care giver at Comfort Keeper. My visists with you were so enjoyable. I loved talking to you and hearing your life stories.
The world lost a gentleman, like no other!
In the beginning you would not let me clean off the kitchen table, because all those parts went to something or could be put together!
Rest in peace, Dear Chuck

Dear Chuck, You were a great friend and neighbor. Mom would always check from across the street to see if your drapes were open in the morning because that was her signal that you were up and okay. You were so generous to include me (her daughter) in an offer of lunch out, sometimes including a trip to Attica or Delphi or just around the corner to the Chinese restaurant. You enjoyed taking a drive in your car and showing us all the features, including the heated seats! My husband enjoyed...

Dear Davidson family, It was my joy and a privilege to know, first Patty, through the Bible study and share group at Covenant, then Chuck as he and I were preparing for her funeral, and in the years since then. In addition to all his professional accomplishments, I knew him to be a dear, loving and thoughtful man. Blessings, Anella

When I was a student at Purdue and brother at Phi Kappa Sigma, Chuck was on the Alumni Board. He was a great example of how to be positive, friendly, and helpful to others. I'm a better person for knowing him.

Chuck, I will never forget our friendship. We came into each others lives at the right time: you were struggling with the fact that you were starting to feel old at 94 and I was just figuring out how to function as a 20-something. You taught me so much about life during our lunch dates at Szechuan Garden (youd always joke, Dont tell your husband!), working on the Studebaker, sharing a sweet snack in the afternoon (you were such a chocoholic!), and just talking about anything and everything....

Chuck, you were a true bright spot in our day each time you visited. Thank you for your service, your quick wit, and sense of humor. I am blessed to have known you, Dear Friend. Rest Well.

I had the pleasure of working with Chuck for twenty years on the Phi Kappa Sigma Board at Purdue. He was one of the most dedicated guys I have ever worked with. He was such an advocate for the fraternity and was there to support the house in some of its most difficult times. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He will be missed dearly.
