I am sorry for your loss.
I have warm memories of Chuck.
He was a gentleman and a character, and he will be missed.
Sincere condolences go out to the family. Please find comfort and hope in the guarantee that soon death will be no more (Rev. 21: 3, 4) and the exciting promise that those we have lost will be reunited with us again (Acts 24:15 & Psalms 37:29).
To the entire family, my deepest condolences. Always remember that As long as you have the memories, Chuck will be close by.
I am so sorry we were not at the memorial, we didn’t know. He was such a wonderful person. Don and I both loved him. We are so sorry to hear this.
Love you,. Don and Barbara Carter
