Dianne, Michelle and family,
I just wanted to share a couple of memories from my treasure house of "Chuck memories": From his "Hey Kiddo" to his lilting "Paasttorr Jooo-Aaanne" you knew if Chuck was calling, there was going to be humour, challenging thoughts, stories and love. Chuck left an imprint on me and my family's life that will not be forgotten. He loved excellence and strove for it in every part of his work, social and spiritual life. His broad smile and congeniality made him a favourite visitor to all our special family functions. When I shared in ministry at a church he attended, he was an avid, faithful, supporter. During the times our family walked through difficult circumstances, Chuck came alongside us. He was my Dad's best friend. They started by sharing a love for sports, their jobs at Dofasco and eventually their faith in Jesus Christ. It brought them closer than ever. And it will be what reunites them. We miss and treasure Chuck's presence here, but look forward to another day when the separation is no longer. Our hearts are with yours,
Rev. Jo-Anne (Clark) and Charlie Thomas
