We are so sorry to hear of Chuck's passing and hope that in the coming days you can find comfort that he is now at peace and with Grandma, Grandpa, and my Dad. I am sure that he will be looking upon all of you with love for eternity. Chuck will be dearly missed by everyone and I know the memories you have with him will be cherished forever.
He was a great brother to my dad (Ken) who loved him dearly. I am thankful they had so many days together in recent years spending time in Arizona...I know both of them enjoyed it. Nathan and I are also glad that we were able to visit when you were in Arizona as well and will always remember how much Chuck (like Dad) loved football, especially the Broncos. I recall that whenever the Broncos played in Kansas City as we were growing up, both Chuck and Dad would leave about the same time (from Iowa and Colorado respectively) and drive to reunite for a couple of days and see their favorite team together. The bonds created in times like this were strong between the two of them and I believe they are now together again, ready for football season.
With Love, Jessica & Nathan

The Day God Called You Home
God looked around his garden, And He found an empty place. He then looked down upon this Earth, And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you, And lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.
He knew you were suffering, he knew you were pain. He knew that you would never, Get well on Earth again.
He saw that the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered, "Peace by Thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.
