Ann and Family,
It’s odd I was just thinking about Chuck and the boys the other day. I vividly remember the joy he and I had when winning our first few games at Central High football tournament. I remember the boys faces like it was yesterday. Chuck had a great heart and was a great man. We are praying for you all. Love Steve, Diana, Steve and Ruthie
