Charles F. Gerberich Sr.

I would like to express my deepest and most sincere sympathy to Marilyn, Mark, Chuck, Peter, all of the grandchildren, and each of the great-grandchildren. Charlie Gerberich was a tremendous influence on me. I liked him, I respected him, and when he talked, I listened. He was always there for me during some very important years in my life -- grade school, junior high school, and high school. Charlie was the adult leader of the church's youth group (Luther League) during those years. The time I spent with Charlie during those formative years are etched in my memory with a great deal of fondness, happiness, and admiration. I consider myself very fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time and to have a person like Charlie Gerberich be there in that role. His guidance has been invaluable throughout my life. He was an extremely important role model for me.

Very sincerely,

Mark Snyder
