Cousins,
Bob, Chuck, Jack and Dick
We met in July of 2015 and spent 7 1/2 hours sitting around the kitchen table talking.

You don't lose friendships you just lose the friends.

My first friend my cousin Chuck. From fishing at seven in Kansas to hunting at fourteen and thing that only Chuck and I need to know. We were friends for years from afar only seeing each other at our parents funeral or a visit every five ten years when we came to town or talking on the phone.

Praying for you Marie and the family.
Our Love Jack and Sharaon

Oh how I will miss that great smile and sense of humor. You are one of a kind, my friend. You have given me more laughs and great times than almost anyone I've ever known. Thousands of memories with you and Marie - some of the best days of my life. I will miss you.
