Rose Marie, Michael, and Stephen,
I have the fondest memories of Charlie Kassheimer taking in the flag at the Shelton Post Office. He was a man of few words who had a strong sense of duty and a deep love for his family. May God comfort you with the knowledge that your Dad is resting in the everlasting arms of His Father.

Ro, I have never met a more loving and caring person than you in my life and I want to say that your dad was so fortunate to have you to care for him for so many years. You gave so much of yourself even on his "cranky" days! lol!And I recall vividly the tenderness with which you cared for your mom and how you helped your dad get through losing her. They are together and at peace! Ro, you were an angel to your parents as you have been to me and to all the people you come in contact with....the world is truly blessed to have you in it. WE love you Kaileigh and Joseph. xxoo Your friends always, Cheryl, Mike, Matt, Danny, Mark and Molly
