Karmen, you are in my thoughts and prayers, along with your Family, as you go through this time. It was an honor and a treat to have visited with Chuck when we were together at Christmas. I am sure he is happily together with your mom and I will be praying that only happy memories replace the sadness of his loss for you and yours.

So sorry to hear about your dad. I'm so glad I was able to spend some time with him when I was in Michigan. I have a lot of memories, growing up, of time spent with my cousin. He will truly be missed by all that new him.

Karmen, I am glad you were with your dad near the end. I have very fond memories of your parents and their farm. Getting in trouble, sneaking Chuck's beer stash in the milking parlor ( I am sure he knew). Your parents were great people and I am sorry for your loss.

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. He was a very dear and special friend to us and our parents, Ray and Ruth Bigler. I'm sure your mom and my folks welcomed him into heaven as he arrived. They will have alot to talk about as they are together once again. May there be comfort in knowing he is in a wonderful place with the love of his life. He will be missed dearly, but we have alot of wonderful memories of him. God bless you and your family.

Sandra Lynn, my heart goes out to you with the news you received of Grampa Chuck's passing. I'm so glad we got to spend some time with him last month and you got to say your good-bye. Cherish the memories you have spending weekends on the farm with Grampa and Gramma, no one can ever take those away. Now Grampa can rest in peace with Gramma Pat.

My heartfelt sympathy goes to Karmen and Blaine and Sandra,
Although the pain of losing your father/grandfather seems unbearable now, in time, may it be tempered by the happy times you shared with him; the knowledge that he is at peace; and that he is smiling now with Pat by his side.

There are no words to express the deep sadness and pain of your loss. He was the kindest, gentlest, most hardworking man. A friend to all and the wonderful uncle who made so many wonderful memories possible for this grateful niece and her family. I know he is in a better place, happily reunited with his love, but i am just really going to miss this treasure of a man. Prayers, hugs, and love going out to comfort all those he loved.
