My sympathies to the Shimerdla family on your recent loss. I can still remember "Uncle Chas " keeping the book for our baseball games .... Back then it was still politically correct to fire up a stogie at Brown Park during youth ball games.... The entire Shimerdla family was part of my memories growing up as a SOB .... and for that I thank yazzz!
