Wow Dad! It's already almost Labor Day Weekend. I'm really having a hard time with this one. I miss you sooooo much. "They" keep saying it will get easier. I'm not sure who "They" are but I'm sure they mean the best. All I know is that it is another holiday. Another holiday that you are not here with us. I miss you Dad. Cori

To all the friends who have wrote such beautiful words about my dad and to my family: I cannot express the deep gratitude that my family and I feel for your thoughts and prayers. It has been such a devastating time for us, but friends like you are so appreciated. My Dad was a very special man and after reading all the wonderful things you have written to my family, you all need to know how much it means to all of us. Thank you for your thoughtful words, your memories and your compassion....

Dear Harriet and family:
We just today heard of Chuck's passing. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Your family is such good friends to have at the lake. We are going to miss not having him there as a friend and neighbor.
We are sorry we did not make the funeral, had we known we would have been there.
Harriet if there is any thing we can do, please let us know. We know that you have wonderful memories of the time...

Dear Lodermeier family,
We have fond memories of Chuck at the cabin. He welcomed us so openly without hardly even knowing us. He was a wonderful father, husband and man.
God bless you all,

To my loving Dad, I don't know what I am going to do without you. It still seems so unreal, so unfair. It's like the worst nightmare of my life. My heart is so heavy with the thought that I will never see you again. I try to pray to God to make me strong, but it is hard to pray to a God that I am so angry with. Angry for taking you from me, and angry for taking you from Mom. I pray that in time, I can accept your loss, but right now that seems impossible. I love you so much Dad, and I...
