September 16, 2021 at 10:59 amUncle chuck has always been the kindest, sweetest man. Each year he’d share his bounty from the garden with us; zucchini, cucumber, tomatoes…and loved to talk about it. He’d give us grape jelly, because he knew Marshall loved it so much. He pushed the kids on the horse tire swing he made for his grandkids. He made peppermint ice cream for our kids when he knew we were coming and was always interested in how they were doing in school, with playing music and whether Aidan won his soccer game or Lily finished first in her track race. I always knew how much he loved us all just seeing the smile on his face when we would show up at the door. We will miss you dearly Uncle Chuck.

September 16, 2021 at 8:12 pmMy father-in-law was so incredibly generous and loving to Sofie and her family. He spent many a day playing dolls on the floor with Sofie. He took Ben on many an excursion. He loved hard and was stubborn as hell unless it came to his family. And then his heart could melt like no other. I will cherish our memories of you my dear, sweet father-in-law. You meant the world to me. ❤️ You are forever in our hearts.
