Lois, I want to send my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your son. We didn’t know Chuck but both Jean and I were friends of Lennie and we apparently missed his passing. We know how difficult it is to lose someone you love so much and want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. jim and jean tinker

Our sincere condolences to Kathy. We are surely going to miss the distinct laugh, our fishing days in Puerto Vallarta, our walks to the cross, our buckets of beer on the ocean at Burros Bar, our birthday dinners, our meetings every morning at the office and breakfast at Chucks favourite breakfast spot near the malecon.

You were always such a great friend of the Feldhaus family. We had you for over 50 years and it is just hell to accept that it has come to an end.
Kathy, This is a hard one – So many years and so many good times with you both. I will always remember his laugh – it came so easy, and his walk, especially when he was in a hurry. He didn’t know a stranger – he would talk to anyone. He was a great mentor to Matt and Shawn. He adored you and you were a wonderful caregiver and always put his wellbeing first. I hope that gives you some comfort. Much Love Always, Ron and Mary
We always had so much fun with Chuck and Kathy in Puerto Vallarta. The guys walked miles into the downtown areas and had many stories to share on their return. Chuck made me a ring out of a one dollar bill. I will treasure it forever. His laugh was unique and you could hear it from far away. He was one of a kind and we will miss him so much. God bless you Chuck and Kathy.
We are so sorry for your loss. You’re in our thoughts, Kathy. Chuck was a great guy and a great friend. I will miss him very much.
