Dad,
It has been a little over two weeks now, and I still wake up expecting to see you. I miss you very much. I am the luckiest daughter in the world to have had such a wonderful, supportive, and tolerant father--as I may have messed up once or twice! Thank you for loving my children with all of your heart and soul. I hope you are singing to Mom again. Love You Forever...

I remember Mr. Chalker from the earliest days of my banking career. In so many ways, Chick Chalker was like the Winston Churchhill of Florida National Bank - constant, stalwart, formidable and always larger than life! Great memories, great bank, great man! Sincerest condolences for your loss.
