I always enjoyed my genealogy talks with C.L. I know he missed Janette, and was lost with out her. May he rest in peace.

C.L. was a wonderful cousin. He always had a smile on his face and an infectious laugh. He was always fun to be around and he was always the first to step up to help someone. We will all miss him.

C.L was a wonderful man and a great example for me when I was blessed to work with him, at Safeway, during my high school years. His management style was such, that every employee loved him and no matter what the task he asked for, we were always more than willing to do it because of the way he asked.
What a great example of a man.
I also recall that he worked full time, and carried a full load at Tech, all while supporting his family.
He was always cheerful, positive, and loved life.
I look forward to getting to see his smile again in heaven some day!
