Dear Vicki,

I don't know if you would remember me, but I worked with Chuck at Capital Realty. My daughter opened a hair salon while I worked there and Chuck came for a haircut or two and I even came to the house to cut his hair when he wasn't feeling well, but that was a couple years ago. I've kept in touch with Rita and Rosemary from Capital. I have thought about Chuck often, in fact just the other day, as I was looking at our pond in the yard, remembering Chuck would often talk about ponds and fish. I know he liked fishing. He will be missed, but at least he is at rest now. My prayers are with you and his family.

Sincerely,

Sandi Colello (Capital Real Estate)

Please accept my deepest sympathies--I know my Mom and Dad (Virginia and John Oplawski) will miss Chuck. You neighbors all get along so beautifully, it saddens us to know that he is gone. Please know that we are thinking of you and keeping you all in our hearts and prayers.
