Chuck and Debbie,

Thank you so much for opening your home and hearts for me and the rest of Matt’s friends. For a kid who didn’t have a very big extended family here, I was always glad to be welcomed like family with you… one of the many reasons I’ve felt blessed to have a best friend like Matt over the years. I will always remember Chuck as a caring and fun-loving man, with an incredible good nature and sense of humor… he will be greatly missed by many. Jason & Sarah

Dear Family

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know this is a very difficult time for all of you. If there is anything I can do please don’t hesitate to call me and I will do whatever I can to help you. God is in charge and he will watch over all of you and please don’t hesitate to ask God for the peace that passeth all understanding. When I lost my husband I found out what that really meant. So I know that it is possible to have that feeling but it will still hurt and the sorrow will be there. Let God be your guide through this time of grief and sorrow only he can help you through what you are experiencing. This is a little poem for you.

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone: For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your Love is still our guide; And though we can not see you ,You are always at our side. Our Family Chain is broken and nothing seems the same; But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again. I hope you enjoyed the little poem and that today will be a better day for you. You have so many friends that love and care for you. May God Bless you and keep you close.

Love Always

We first met Chuck when our son Nathan joine the Burien Bearcats almost 20 years ago. We had a hard time finding a helmet to fit him and Chuck spent alot of time switcing pads and straps until he found just the right one. He always had a kind work for everyone. We remember that he loved being involved with the kids in the community and was very proud of his own children. We have not seen Chuck for a few years, but I know that we were better for knowing him. Our thoughts and prayers to out to Debbie, Matt and Kari and the rest of the family.
