Maxine:
I was sorry to learn of Chuck's passing. I knew he had some health issues but did not know they were so serious.
Chuck and I go back to school days in Monroe and then at Iowa State. I remember when the two of you started dating. I always admired the affection you showed for one another and for your family.
I do not drive out-of-town anymore so do not know if I can make a gathering at Sargent Bluff. Do let me know if there will be a memorial as I would like to make a contribution.
God bless.

We had the pleasure of meeting Chuck and Maxine on a trip to Europe in 2005. They had moved to Arizona and we were invited to visit them, eventually moving to Arizona ourselves. Chuck was a wonderful man, so kind and thoughtful and we loved hiking with them, playing cards and sharing a meal. He will be sorely missed and we know he will be smiling down from heaven!
