Chuck and Nancy didn't know your dad or mom much, but I know they had to have been very special people to have raised a son and daughter as you. So sorry for your loss.

To the kindness man I have ever known. He always had a smile on his face and a kind word from his heart.
He and Mrs. Overton were the perfect team. I remember Their 50th anniversary . The times when I helped them put up their Christmas tree. And how much
They loved each other and the rest of us that came into their lives and they into mine.
They may be gone but they will never be forgotten!
I loved them and always will.
Always, Brenda

"The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage (Ps. 16:6)," and part of that heritage is friendship with Charles and Thelma Overton. I cannot remember a time when the Overtons were not a part of my life.

I am where I am today, in part, because of his willingness to "put up with me" as he led the singing at Altheimer FBC.

Pam and I will pray for you as you sorrow--but that sorrow is "not as others who have no hope."
