Cyndie & the Patterson family - I am so sorry to hear of "CWP" passing. I wish I would have known sooner, I would have been at the service. I often think back to the times working at Patterson Lumber. His initials were very appropriate for the lumber business. Since the doors closed I've often wondered how Dave & Steve have managed. Sometimes it feels like only last year we all worked together and then again it seems like a lifetime ago.
My prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Cyndie & Family - Upon hearing of Chuck's passing, my thoughts instantly returned to the time of my employment as Special Events Director at Klehm Arboretum and Botanic Garden. Chuck was instrumental in bringing me up to speed with the events, history of the development of Klehm, basic plant information (he always teased me I had a anything except green thumb), and so much more. Chuck & Cyndie were always at the ready when volunteers were needed for the events - or anything else! His knowledge of the treasury of plants at Klehm was amazing!!! I was blessed to have had the experience! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Cyndie and family, Chuck was such a wonderful resource and friend during my tiime at the Arboretum and a great supporter back when I worked at Children's Development Center too when we did a playhouse project. My thoughts and prayer are with you all. What a loss to many. He lived a good life and was a role model for many.

It is with deep sadness that I express condolences to Cyndie and family. Chuck was a valuable member of the NIBS Board and deeply involved in the development of the Klehm Arboretum and Gardens. Chuck was so generous in sharing his knowledge and skills gained through his life-long career as a business owner and equally generous in devoting hours of time to development of the arboretum grounds and gardens and special events. Most importantly he shared the "magic" of the Klehm plant collection with visitors as a docent. The Rockford community and all of us are so much better for being able to work along side this generous man. My thanks to Cyndie and family for allowing us to share in your family treasure.

Patterson Family, I pray that the Lord gives you peace during this time of sorrow. May you be blessed by fond memories and the peace of knowing that Chuck is with Jesus now.
In Christ.

Cyndie, Nadine and I fondly remember our times with you and Chuck in the Congregators at 2nd Congregational Church and the bridge group in the 1950s. I also remember the wonderful customer relationships with Chuck and the Company at First National Bank. God bless you and your family during this grieving time.

He was always so happy to visit with us and we will miss running into him.

True friends are a treasured gift from God. You and Chuck took such good care of me after John died. I shall miss Chuck's, "Hi, Jeanne, we'll pick you up." David, Laurie and Steve. A warm hug to you all. Sorry I'm not with you.
