Dear Stump Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. He was such a big part of my growing up with Sher. I remember him coming home from trips with those beautiful glass encased dolls and taking us skiing at Heidelberg mountain. I don't ever remember Charlie without a smile on his face, except, of course, when he was giving Sheri a hard time about her refusal to drive the blue car! He always had a twinkle in his eye, even the last time I saw him when he and Peg made the long trip to be at my parent's anniversary party. For that and for having the privilege of knowing Charlie Stump I will always be grateful.
Love,
Lynn
