See you again one day
Uncle Chuck, You were a good husband, father, grandfather, and friend. You were a fantastic uncle. I remember being a little kid and swimming at the river and lakes with you. I remember going camping and dancing around fires in the backyard. You worked on every car that I ever owned because you were a great body and fender repair man and I was a terrible driver. You disabled the airbag in my first car because you knew how dangerous they were back then. You were always taking care of us.
I feel terrible for Stacy and Lee, but they were lucky to have you even though they-we- will miss you forever.
Save a place at the table for us. See you when we get Home.
