    Uncle Charles you will be deeply missed by us. When I was growing up you and Aunt Mart were always there for us. We loved visiting us on the farm and picking the fruits and vegetables when we were kids. All the fun and memories will always stay with me. Love and miss you.

    Steve, my condolences to you and the family. I’m sorry I will have to miss the funera for your dad, but feel I have to go to Dickie Plezweski’s service. Sorry they are at the same time. Arlene
