Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. We will always remember our great times with Fern & Charlie. We all loved I Love Lucy so we nickname Charlie Fred Fern Etel Joyce Lucy and Buddy Desi. We had taken so many trips with them in Florida. They were our best friends and will be truly missed. Charlie on many occasions help us out with the back to school meetings with refreshments. Rest in Peace our friend Love you!

  2. I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful man on a couple of occasions, my favorite moment was watching the love for his daughter during their dance at Angel’s wedding. While I did not know him all that well, I do know his children well, and if the generosity, and love they show and share to not only their community, but often times even strangers is a testament to who he was then we certainly have lost a bright and shining light. They always say that your children are nothing shy of the example you set, and I think this certainly stands true. My heart goes out to Angel and Bubba (Chuck) in this most difficult time, and I hope they know that all the good they are carries his memory, today and always. -Michelle Coffman
