To Charles McConnell's Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. For the family and all his friends we are all grieving. We lost a wonderful, sensitive, caring man. He was a great assest to Loomis Communities for both all the Residents and staff. He really added a spirit to wherever he was, he had a presence about himself.

I learned a great deal from him, I will cherish everything I learned from him.

Remember Col.McConnell, I am the boss from 9:00-9:30 a.m/exercise Group!!

We will miss you.
