Kristine ZiesemerDear Shirley and family, I was so very shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of your husband Chuck, father to his children and Grandpa to the grandkids. I didn't even see the obituary and heard about it from a previous co-worker. I just wanted to extend Gary and my sincere prayers and sympathy at his sudden passing. God bless each and everyone~

Jan HoldermanI am sorry to see Chucks name here. I've known him sense the Ward days when he worked with late husband Tom. He was such a caring man, and so proud of his wife and family. I will miss him more as a friend then being the repair man in town. You have my sympathy. Jan and Mike
