Nancy:
I will always remember Chick as a good friend and as a mentor that helped me in my paper making career. I was so glad that I had the chance to talk to Chick as we were able to talk about our paper making days. He will be missed.

My dear Nancy,
I haven't looked at the Redding newspaper for over a month, and was shocked to open the paper today and find Chick's obit. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids.
Love,
Dora (Kirk) Burns

Chick was a wonderful caring person, artist extraordinaire, plus being a great cook to boot. It was always well worth the effort of bagging all those english walnuts to give to Chick just so we could have those yummy glazed walnuts.


With Love,
Cynthia, Curtis, John and Kirsten Scott
