I am sorry to hear about the passing of Charles and yet console that he is now in a better place. I will always remember, with warm feelings, the many times I spent working side by side with him on the Fehnel farm. He was always an inspiration of positive energy.



With sincere sympathy

To Francis and the entire family: I am very sorry to hear of Charles passing away. His sister, who was my Step-Mother(Catharine Meyers) was always there for me especially after her death. I had always enjoyed seeing him at my home in Palmer Township prior to me moving to Florida. I will greatly miss Charles and you are all in my prayers.
