The years go on. I miss you still. I always will. Mom and Ken just left to go back home. They helped me a great deal while they were here. Mom gave me a picture of you in uniform. She said that is the way you looked when she met you. Very handsome young soldier! I love you Dad!

One sorrow filled year has passed. I miss you Dad even more than ever. I miss our talks and your humor added to them. You always made me know you loved me and that warms my soul even today. I pray your soul continues to get closer and closer to God and learns the lessons there.

I remember Uncle Charles as having a sense of humor and making me laugh. And though I haven't been around him much in my adult years. I always have fond memories of him. I know he and my Dad are up here watching Fox news and solving all the world problems. Wish they were here doing it. Love you Uncle Charles. My Mom sends her condolences too

My very first BFF sent me a condolence saying, "I'm really sorry to hear about your Grandpa Charlie. We had good times with them when we were young... Motorcycle racing, swimming in their pool, and playing in their front yard when they had the house in our neighborhood.

I have been abundantly blessed to have been able to visit my Grandpa a few times a year for the last few years. We pass through on our travels and to and from the Midwest.
He is on that short list of people who "make me laugh!"... and laugh hard, so funny! He could have been a stand up comedian, he was that funny... May he rest in peace. Love you Grandpa!

My sympathy for your loss. May your memories give you encouragement and strength. The last time I saw Uncle Charles and Aunt Billie was at Dad and Nancy's house many years ago. It was a very good visit. So happy we had that time together. Will keep all of you in my prayers. So sorry for you having to go through this. Love to you all

Ditched Mustang
January 18, 2017
Myfather in his youth had many adventures and misadventures. I would get calls as the designated "fixer"..One very fond memory I carry with me in this life is when he had run his brand new Mustang off in a ditch very close to his home. So I went running with a chain to pull him out.
When I arrived I looked at him, then the car, and the ditch , seemed very little water there. But I fell over laughing when i saw the muddy fingertips outline all the length of the door. He did not like my laughter and told me so. So I stifled it as best I could.
Yet, to this day when I imagine his unnecessary panic, clawing and trying his best to get to safety in app. 4 inches of water. I smile now at that very fond memory.
He was my father true enough, but I do and will miss my friend. I love you Daddy!
