To the Routhe family: Words cannot describe the loss you are feeling right now but hopefully the memories will help get you through this difficult time. I worked with Chuck during his time with the State of MN. He was a great friend and will be sadly missed.

My deepest sympathy to you Scott, Steven and your families. I have many memories of your father from growing up 2 doors away. He had a great sense of humor and was very devoted to his family.
