Growing up in Antigo for years, Charlie was like a big brother for myself, brother Dennis and sister Ellen. We all like to go and visit him at home. He was always doing something interesting. He loved making photos as did my Uncle Eddie. Thanks, Charlie, for some happy times. He was at my mother's funeral April 5, 2011 in Antigo.

I am sorry to learn of your family sorrow. The death of a loved one is painful. If I may, I'd like to share scripture that may comfort you in some way. Please take a moment to read John 6:40, 44, Ps. 36:9, 37:29.

I worked at the post office and "Charlie" always came in to get the Antigo Daily Journal's mail. He always had a smile and a joke to share. I never saw him in a bad mood- he was always pleasant and we looked forward to his daily visit. He was a true gentleman.
