We were so fortunate that you and Sylvia were assigned together at the same church when Ayrlawn was still being built. Without that, we might never have become best of friends, and I would perhaps not known Chuck. We loved you both, and miss him dearly. When I asked what would you like me to do for you now, after Chuck's memorial service, I meant then and now. Please call on us if you need anytrhing. You may be interested to know that Angela saw the pastor who officiated at the memorial mass on Sunday, and he said that he had officiated at severeal memorial services at Riderwood, and
Chuck's was the best attended of any, buy a good margin. Our love is with you.
Paul Gayer and family.

Pat,
I wanted to express my sympathy for your loss of Chuck. I know how much you will miss him. I had actually been thinking about him the day of the big band playing at church and whether he still was active with that. I did not read about his death until last Saturday evening after visitation hours. Since I am not sure if you moved to Riderwood or not, thought at least I would express sympathy here.

Dear Mrs. O'Connor,
Chuck's gift for communication was the standard against which I measured how well I was developing as a worthwhile humane being. He was my best boss and I will miss him dearly.

I knew you Chuck when we worked together at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. He was my Division Chief. He was a fine man with lots of integrity. I am very happy to have known him. I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Mrs. O'Connor,
I enjoyed getting to know your husband when I visited my Dad, George Peet, at breakfast on Saturdays. He was a kind and gentle man. God bless you.
