One of the kindest family men and a true friend anyone could ever want to have in their life. As we age and time moves on, we may loose touch with people; but for me, I thank God, that they still live within my heart and soul. I grieve for our loss but knowing we shall again be together in eternity with God!

Chuck, Thelma and Family,
Your beloved father and husband was a very special man. I was so glad I was able to share wonderful memories at his service. My memories of him are always what a pleasant man he was to be around. I loved him like my own Dad. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May his wonderful memories of life help you heal your loss.
