Charlie, my boy. You had the best sense of humor of anyone I ever met! I enjoyed very much the years we worked together at Brunswick, and all the laughs we had together.

Dear Amy and entire family of Chuck
He was a friend and customer of mine for many years. I was his barber. I had not heard from him in some time and wondered if he was ok. I should have called as my wife suggested. Our deepest sympathy to you and family.

Dear Stacy and Dena,
I was saddened to learn of Uncle Charlie's passing. He was a gentle soul with a kind heart and I am glad to have known him. My condolences to both of you and the rest of your families.

Dear Stacy & Dena:
I always considered Chuck one of my best friends and enjoyed having lunch with him many times over the past 10 years. Our days at Brunswick were memorable and he gave me great advice(over a beer) when I was being interviewed for a job at Montgomery Ward. I will miss his phone conversations and his wit forever.
May you always cherise your life with him and Pat

Dear, dear Stacy and Dena,
Your father was a wonderful man and leaves behind two really, really wonderful daughters. I share your grief.
When it rains, it pours. M. Jean Rhodes passed away a week ago, and Jean Depeder passed away on Thursday. The old guard is disappearing, and now we are taking its place.
So fondly, Edward Minieka

Stacy & Dena,
My deepest sympathies and condolences to you and your families on the passing of your father. I worked with your father at Warehouse Club and we had lunch on several occassions after the demise of Warehouse Club. Our phone calls were always interesting with your father offering his tongue-in-cheek words of advice. He never failed to make me laugh. I considered your father a true friend. I will always remember his unique sense of humor. It was second to none. May God bless you, your families, and friends during this difficult time.
