It was two weeks ago today that we lost a wonderful man. While it is difficult for those of us left behind, I am comforted to know he is in a wonderful place walking, talking and telling jokes. I can only imagine how many new "friends" he has already made! Thanks for being the best Dad anyone could ask for!

Grandpa Chuck - You always had such great stories and were always smiling. Even though it has been years since our last visit, I remember you like it was yesterday. May you be at peace, and know how much you were loved and how much you will be missed. Lots of Love, Adrienne

Grandpa Chuck, everytime we came to visit, you amazed me! Even though we only saw you once a year, you always remembered the small things and had a smile on your face for us!! I am blessed that I was able to meet you and be a part of your family and am so grateful that your great-grandchildren were able to meet you. Until we meet again, love you Grandpa Chuck!

I've only been to one Military Funeral, and that was for my father. I hope you will benefit from the solemnity of the ceremony. I certainly did.
