From your loving wife,

Charles, My beloved husband of 41 + years of marriage, you were a godsend. No one could have been a more loving, caring and giving son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather. You left behind a wonderful legacy through our children and grandchildren. We didn't get to say good-bye but I know we will meet again. I miss you.

Love You Always,
"Bev"

From your daughters,

Love Eternally,
Jill, Oliver, O.J., Devin, Morgan

Dad,
I hope you know how much it meant to me for you to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day. You looked so handsome and proud. I will always remember those green eyes and that fantastic personality and friendly way you always had with people. When I look at my son's green eyes, he reminds me of you. You shined here on earth and I'm sure you are shining in Heaven with God. You are always with us in spirit, soul, mind, and most of all our hearts. I will never forget you!! Dad thanks for the life you have given me. Until we meet again.
Your Daughter,
Jodi Lynn

From your sons,

Dear Dad,
We were so far apart in the beginning and on different paths, each seeking his own way. But as the years passed and life revealed its many secrets, we find that there are not several paths, but one road, all leading to the same goal.
Love Happiness & Kinship.
Watch over and guide us.
Charles Jr.

Dear Dad,
Thank you. I love you.
Love, Randy

My father, though all his trails and tribulations, remained positive in the face of adversity. He would never say it, but he was proud of what his five children had accomplished in life and the sacrifices he and mother made to ensure their children's plans. Dad may have left us prematurely, but he lives on, in all of us in different ways.
I look forward to the day we reunite.
Craig
