Glynn and Richard and families,
We were so sorry to hear of your dad's death. We spent many years with him talking car washes. He was one of our friends. He came to see us in Morrilton not too many years ago and we had a great visit. He was the same as always. He was a great man and I know you will miss him.

To Jean and the children:
Charles was first a client, but became a real friend. I will truly miss his rare insights on many subjects he shared with me. For some reason i thought of him for a fleeting moment on monday, and now i know why. I miss our telephone talks already.
My prayers are with the family in your time of grief, and i encourage you to lean on GOD for comfort and his peace.
