Dear Brenda and family- I was shocked and saddened to hear about your father’s passing. I have enjoyed every story that you have shared with me about your dad. It has made me feel like I knew him personally. He definitely had “spirit”…something that you continue to bring to your co-workers and friends. Our heartfelt condolences to your entire family.

Dear JoAnn and Family:
I was saddened when Fred Schroeder told me the news about Chuck. Chuck and I had many good times together. I always looked up to him as a mentor and he always seemed willing to listen to any problem that I had.
I’m sorry that I will not be able to come to the visitation. I will try to come to the service.
Darrell is also saddened and sends his condolences!
I am truly blessed to have known Chuck. I will always remember him and basketball and how much joy he had when he talked or played the game.
He was a great role model and he will be missed!
God bless you and your family in your loss!
Jack P. Morgan and

Dear Aunt JoAnn and Cousins Anita, Brenda, Lynda, and Chuckie,
We were so sorry to hear about Uncle Chuck. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. If there is anything we can do please don’t hesitate to ask. John mentioned to me last night that Uncle Chuck would come by Lora and Bills house and take him up to the Dearborn Hotel so he could watch Uncle Chuck play basketball. He said I am not sure why he would just take me but obviously it made John feel very special ! He said I wouldn’t play but I would just watch him play ! That is how we are going to remember him. Playing basketball and being with his family just like at our family reunions. He will always be with us in spirit. God bless you all and try to be strong. He sure was strong and would not want you all to be so sad.
Love you all,
John & Laura Dyke

Brenda & Family,
I know you were very close with your Dad, it shows in your face each time you talk about him.
After my Dad passed, I found comfort in these words, I hope you do too…
People disappear, but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up the grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the daytime when they’re supposed to be sleeping. They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when they sing windsongs, they whisper to us, “Don’t miss me too much, The view is nice, and I’m doing just fine”.
