Sue--What a wonderful, loving wife you were to Chuck during his long battle with Alzheimer's. You have been a role model for all of us. Chuck was such a "gentle" man and I know you will really miss him. May you and your family find God's peace during this difficult time. Love you!

Chuck was a big part of my childhood as one of the tribe of cousins I was blessed to have. Wonderful memories from our play times together at Grandma Ardis' sprawling house on New Street in Downey to the beautiful Stratton home on Orange Grove in Pasadena. My thoughts and prayers are with Sue, Mary, Susie and all of their children as I remember our fun-filled family times together. Rest in peace, Chuck..............
