Charles V. "Chuck" Knuthson

Dad,
It's a brand New Year, and as I sit in quiet reflection on this past year and the one to come, my thoughts turn to you. I miss you. I miss the times we spent together, and the times we should have. I miss the comforting sound of your voice, and the way you call me sis. I miss your goofy antics, anything for a laugh. I miss your visits, and your excitement as you told me stories of your genealogy research. I miss the times we spent in unspoken communication and quiet...

Yo! ! Pop-Pop. Christmas has come and gone and now the family looks to a new year. It was our children’s first year without their Dad, and as you can see they struggled with their loss. Jenn gave each of us a small police bear for Christmas along with a small book with a police insignia. In the book the families will note where "Bumby Bear" has traveled. You will go on many excursions with six families. Jeremy is away snowboarding and I received a pic this morning of you riding in the...

Dad,
This has been the hardest year of my life. There has been many times I,ve pondered and thought WWDD. What Would Dad Do. I diddnt realize how much I relied on your advice both with family and buisness. Not an hour goes by that I dont think of you. Im still not used to not having my dad to lean on. I still call your cell to listen to your voice. The boys are growing so fast, but you already know that. You told me that you would check on us from time to time. Ill be honest, I havent...

Dear Dad,
Cancer is said to be the "loving disease". Although loosing someone is never easy, I had the opportunity to know of your illness, and tell you how very much I love you.
I think about you every single day.
Being a member of the LDS church, I know exactly where you are. I miss you like crazy, but I know that you are OK. I know that someday we will be together again.
Until then, I will treasure the memories we have. Those will carry me through this...

I sorrow over the passing of Chuck...and somehow I don't think he would be pleased with the knowing. My husband and I worked with Chuck in criminal justice. After retirement I took Chuck's Sierra College course in Genealogy. What a fine, inspired person! A real Renaissance Man. We'll remember.

Charles, Chuck, Dad, Chucky Poo, Bumbie Bear, these are a few of your life long names. You have been my good friend for 55 years. We shared five children, fourteen near perfect grand children and 30 foster children and many many years of wonderful memories. Though we divorced we stayed close and I'm thankful for that. I would not have wanted to miss the dance, even when pain was part of life. Now, help me continue to complete the Loomis and Knuthson genealogy. I'll listen and look for your...

Having been out of the country for the last few weeks, I was shocked to learn of Chuck's passing today. We met in Sacramento in 2004 when I spoke at the NGS Conference and I have considered him a friend ever since. Anytime I spoke or attended a genealogical function, I always kept my eye out for Chuck. I have seen other postings say the same thing - he was just a great guy and a joy to be around. He was knowledgeable and an amazing researcher, but he was always very approachable. I...

I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck at the USGenWeb
Project's track of lectures at the Federation of
Genealogical Societies conference in Boston in 2006. He,
as a member of USGenWeb Project (CAGenWeb Project), gave
the keynote address at the luncheon for the USGenWeb
Project members and attendees which celebrated our 10 year
anniversary. He represented the USGenWeb Project very
well.

Chuck was a very personable and knowledgable USGenWeb
Project volunteer and...
