Chuck Tyrpak wrote a sympathy message

“My condolences to Mrs. Powers and the entire Powers family. Mr. Powers was always welcoming and offered valued insights and advice rooted in our shared back-da-bridge Ingham roots. I learned a lot from him about fatherhood, hard work, and dedication. He will be remembered for his kindness, love of country, conservative family values, strong sense of how things should be, and his positive outlook. Matt and Becky also send their best wishes. Rest in Peace Mr. Powers!”
