Steve, Michelle and family’s I’m so sorry for the loss of you dad.
I would like the family to know what a great scout leader Chuck was to troop 140 in the early 1970’s. His knowledge and inspiration gave me a lifetime of treasured memories. Chuck was a FUN leader and mentor. My deepest sympathies
Michelle, I just heard about your Dad going to Heaven-my Mom will be there, after Jesus hugs your Father, my Mom will be there to hug Him as well. For me, I still haven’t gotten over my Mom going to Heaven-she was & still is my best friend. I remember in your backyard under that huge tree-was actually a goldfish pond.
I live in Lincoln & phone# 402-499-4763. I really don’t know where you live. It’s just weird how there’s no place to stay when I come home. Linda Bartek said the same thing. Please call sometime-if you want to-generic VM. My cousin Stacy Breunig died just 2 nights ago.
