“Dale, Kim and Brett: This is so coincidental that I learned of your dad's death today. I was actually looking for Chick's obituary. As I was going through some files this morning, I found the organ recovery article"To Remember Me" that was read at Chick's funeral. Your mother sent me a copy shortly after. Your mom and dad always welcomed us kids as we and Chick wandered around the neighborhood trying to get a ball game up. He was a good role model for us Clintonites. I'm sorry for your loss.â€

My sympathy is with the family. I remember Mr. Williams who was always friendly and smiling. I also remember him with Ms. Delores and what fun they did have. I'm happy they will be together again.
