I am so sad to hear this. I haven’t seen Chuck for a while, but always enjoyed talking to him. He was so good to my mom when she was alive, he always made time to see her on his way through town. My thoughts and prayers are with your family!
So sorry for your loss. My prayets go out to Barb and the family.
Sincerest condolences to the Gust family. You’re in my thoughts.
Thinking about you and your family during this difficult time.Will miss Charlie’s trips up and down the dock. Take care Mike and Katgy
Barb and Family,
Sorry to hear about Charlie’s passing. He was a Great Guy and even a Better Friend!! We will be praying for you! Dean & Ruth
I’m so sorry for your loss. Charlie was a great man. He had a life fulfilled with you Barb. Just know that he will be watching over you all patiently waiting until you’re all together again.
my deepest sympathies to Chucks Family, I attended grade school with Chuck at Aten, , God Bless.
I was so sorry to hear of Chuck’s death this week. He was 3 months younger than me and as cousins, we spent much time together when we would visit the farm in Aten. He taught me how to ride and other things about the farm. Although time and distance kept us apart, I heard about how he was doing when he would call or stop to see mom on his way through Des Moines.
My sympathies to all of the family on your loss.
My condolences to your whole family. It’s never easy to loose someone you love, may you keep all the good memories close to your heart and cherish them.
