I’m sorry for your loss. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. Hugs.
Charles was a good example for me, a cousin 10 years his junior. We spent lots of good times milking cows, hunting rabbits, riding tractors, and generally doing farm work. He always took pride in his ability to back a 4 wheel trailer down a barn hall.
Charles you will be missed!
Sorry for your lost. He was a nice man.
