Frieda,

I feel blessed to have married into such a wonderful & loving family. You and Chud have opened your home and hearts to an unknown California girl, 16 years ago. Throughout the years, I have only known nothing but love & kindness from each of you. I love Chud as much as my own father and damn proud to be called his daughter-in-law. Chud touched so many lives and I am grateful for the years he was a part of mine. He will forever live in my heart. I love you Frieda.

Dearest Jolie and Freida,



One can never explain why things happen the way they do. When we spoke Monday morning __time stood still__ in respect for your Dad, Chud.

We are sorry to be out of town during this time but our hearts and prayers are with you both.

Chud will add his spice to Heaven and now will watch over you all as you have these many years for him.

Love to you both,

Dear Frieda, Jolie & Brenton,

I'm remembering all the entertaining times being with and around Chud. My best laugh (with him) was when you colored his hair and he came to work thinking nobody noticed...! I will truly miss his laughter and extreme kindness.

My very best to all of you during this very difficult time.

Love, Fran

Dear Mrs. Field,



I am truly sorry to hear about your loss. Many years ago Chud helped guide me through an internship at the Port and I will always remember him for the generosity, kindness and friendliness that he showed towards both myself and everyone around him. I will always think of him with the fondest of memories.

My Brother,

I cherish the memories from the years that have passed, You have always been there from the day I was born, until I did the hardest thing in my life, as we looked at each other to say goodbye we both knew the time was near. You will be missed and always in my thoughts, Until the day we meet again, I pray that you are now at peace.

My prayers are with you and your family in the loss of "Chud". I remember all the wild parties we had together and nights he ended up spending in my parents home. I will always be reminded of him for his infectious smile and laughter. GOD can truly use that smile and laughter in Heaven.
