Dear Baucom Family,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with you during this difficult time and in the days ahead. I worked with your mother at the hospital, and I feel like I know you boys personally. She was so very proud of you all. May God bless.

Like our fellow Eau Claire High School classmates, I am sorry to hear of Charles' death. Many years have passed since those high school days. But the memory of Charles is unchanged. He approached every life challenge with energy and great enthusiasm. Charles achieved every untaking with much success. I enjoyed playing in the band with him as well as having many classes together. He will be in my memory always as a guy with talent, a great smile, and forever a friend.
