Loretta, Nancy, Maryann, & the rest of the Lenton family~
I just now heard of Chucks passing from my mom, I am so saddened by the news.
I have so many fun memories of him (and the rest of you) from when I was a kid and would visit at Grandma's house. He was a great person and will be missed.
You are all in our family's thoughts and prayers. Please also take comfort that he is in a better place.
Never forgetting,
Mike & Nicole Olson

Dear Grandpa,
I was sad when Dad told me you had passed away. You were a fun Grandpa and I will always remember how much fun it was to visit you in the nursing home. I liked the ice cream parties best and I know you did too.
I will miss you very much.
Love, Maria Jean

Dear Grandpa,
Thank you for coming to my baseball games when you could. You were a really good Grandpa and always fun. I really liked your tomatoes and the way you let us eat them like apples right from the garden! I feel bad about your passing away but know that you are in a better place having fun riding your bike.
Love, Mike

I've missed the Thanksgiving dinners the Seldens and Lentons used to have. Uncle Charles always loved to kid around and have a good laugh.

My fondest memory of your dad was his constant teasing of me running around in my bare feet. "Did you lose your shoes again, Miss Tatur?!"
Rest assured - he's in a much better place, now. My love & prayers, 'Miss Diane Tatur'
