Hi Grandpa its been about 11 years since you have passed away and I wanted to say a couple things on here. I am 13 almost 14 years old now I am in 8th grade now, and I do football and track and i am really good at them both. I have fallen in love with cars and motorcycles I ALSO LOVE MUSTANGS I dream to own a 1969 mustang in all black, that is one of my dream cars. I kinda wish I was able to go fishing with you also, I have gotten really good at that and my PB bass is 8.83 pounds, I caught him on a jerk-bait. You passes away when I was 2 years old. It kinda sucked that I grew up with one grandpa but its okay, your at peace now and your happy.
Joe, Andrew, Jen and my mom are all doing okay, and they all look significantly different than when you passed away.
I wish that I got to know you a little bit more before you died. But there is nothing either one of us could have done, i was an infant and you had a addiction, but you are over the addiction and happy, hopefully. You would have made a fantastic grandpa.
I think about you often even though I never knew you on any level really, but i just think about how life would be if you were still alive and well.
I will see you some day, and I will be able to talk to you about everything.
Rest in peace, I pray you are enjoying your eternal life.

My prayers are with your family during this time. I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't know Chad well, but graduated with him from Indianola High School. I can't imagine how difficult this is. May the Lord saturate you all with His presence, grace and peace in Jesus' name.

Chad was a wonderful person and very smart. I will never forget how good he was to Tony as his boss and friend. He always had time to give him a ride home from work. He loved his family very much and was very proud of them. I am so very sorry for his loss, he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers will be with his family.

He was a huge FoMoCo fan too. I remember his old Cyclone Spoiler and the various Ford Torinos and Mustangs he owned. He loved my old Spoiler 2 I owned. He was always happy whenever I seen or talked to him, I will miss talking to him from time to time like I did. Chad loved his children very much too. I am so sorry for your loss he was a great person.
