“Dear Fran, I was so saddened to hear of Chuck's passing. I loved his sense of humor and his kind smile. You two were always good to me in quiet, welcoming ways, and you each made choir special when we attended OPPC. John and I offer our deepest sympathies and our heartfelt prayers. May the Lord of All Mercy comfort you and your family at this time. Hugs! Mary Rymer”
