I am very sadden to hear of my Uncle’s passing. My prayers go out to his family. He is now joining his wife and daughter. What a celebration they must be having. God Bless
We are so sorry for your loss. We so loved when your family came to visit us in Cincinnati. Your dad would always make time to take Chuck to the Reds Hall Fame and the Football Hall of Fame. He was so good with the magic tricks. He could entertain us for hours. Love to you and your family in this most difficult time.
