More time has passed fast! Good memories do not fade. Childhood was good in our town and I will always be thankful for that. We didn't have a care in this world. Now we have sadness for losing so many of our fellow playmates and families. God Bless you all. Love still beats in my heart for home.

I'm sorry to hear of Charley's passing and offer my deepest condolences to the family. I hadn't seen him but a few times since I left that area in 1960 but always considered him a good buddy and a valued mentor from the early days. Charley taught me many things a New Marshfield boy needed to know, including the fine arts of frog hunting, muskrat trapping and how to build things from used lumber and rusty nails. He was a gentle spirit and a good man. RIP

Dear Lynn, Rick & Gina. I was so sorry to hear that your dad has also passed. I would guess that he & dad are catching up. I always loved going out to the farm and spending the night with you all. Your father was always fun to be around. Love, Christy (Townsend) Pearce
