To the entire family,
Please accept my sincere sympathy. It was truly a privilege to participate in Mr. Lorenz' care, albeit only briefly.

So sorry to hear of Chuck's passing. He was a great man and I learned many things watching him over the years at Duncan's. He even continued to call my sister and I after our father passed to let us know little things about the store. He will be dearly missed.
