Leslie,
I am not certain you will remember me, but I was good friends with Cary and ADORED your dad. I had moved to Vegas, from Downey, CA, for about 10 years, now live in Arkansas...
Chuck's eyes would sparkle every time he'd talk about you and your kids. Every time you think about him, tell him you love him and his spirit will get stronger as, he will always be with you.

Today is a double blow, to find out about both Cary and Chuck. I have been trying to get back in touch with Cary for the last 5 years.

You are in my prayers, as I remember you and your kids.

God Bless you Always

To the family and friends of Charles.
I knew and worked with "Charlie" for about 9 years of my 35 years in the telecommunications industry here in California. He was a very hard working co-worker and I truly enjoyed working with him during that time period. He was extremely talented in our craft and he would always share his gained knowledge with those who needed it. Thank you for your support during those many years Charlie.

Leslie, Gordon, Courtney and Gordy,
It was such a shock to hear about your Dad (Grandfather). Hold on to all the wonderful memories you have with him and I know there are a lot. He loved you all very much and talked about you all the time. He sure will be missed by myself and many other people in Riverland.
May God be with you and help to heal your heart as time goes on.
Love, Georgia

If you can know someone through someone else's eyes, then I feel blessed to have known your Dad. You always talked about him and the relationship that he had with Courtney & Gordy. My heart goes out to you and your family and know we love you.

Leslie and Family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know how hard it is to lose your dad! I lost mine 19 years ago, not a day goes by that I don't wish he were here with me. I would love to tell you that it will be ok. I will just say that time helps to soften the loss. Nothing can take away those precious memories that you have with him. Cherish them and it will be easier. Call me if you need too. I will keep you all in my prayers. I pray that God will give you the peace and comfort that only he can give you at a time like this.

Dad....A part of my heart has been taken from me. My life will never be the same...I will miss you every day until I am with you in heaven. I am so, so proud I was able to call you "my dad". God could not have blessed me with anyone I could cherish more. You were the best grandpa in the whole world and your two love you beyond what words could describe. They and are crushed...you were with them for so much and went to such lengths to be the best grandpa in the world. You were a part of our "unit" and now it is not whole. I am so thankful that you and I had the bond and love we did...it is immeasurable on both ends...I know that and you knew that. I adore you and I piece of me has gone with you. I love you so much and will miss you until I am able to hug and kiss you again. Your loving daughter
