My Dad Arvid was the youngest of the 5 kids. He was adopted out. My father got to meet, Earl, Jessie and my Godmother Iola. So my Dad had never meet his brother Chuck. When I was 16 I hunted down my Uncles phone number, my father Arvid had cancer and it was a dream to meet that last brother. I got the nerve up and dialed the number. Uncle Chuck answered the phone, with tears in my eyes I asked if he would like to talk to his youngest brother. He called me his angel voice, that I will never forget. It was my Dad's birthday I thought it was a perfect gift. Before my Dad passed in 1977 he did get to meet Uncle Chuck and Aunt Dot. I will always fondly remember those times and that first call.

Great Grandpa was a remarkable person and I will never forget him. I loved hearing his stories; the farm he lived on as a kid, his time in the navy and his trip with great grandma around the states. I will miss him more than words can say.

Uncle Chuck was a great man who cared more for others needs more then his own needs. He was always available to lend a helping hand to those in need, especially those who could not do for themselves. He was an accomplished hunter, fisherman and inventor. During his last hunting season, I heard other hunters refer to him as "The Legend". He knew he couldn't beat the younger hunters to his hunting area in the mountains so he hiked up the night before and slept under a blue tarp so he could be there at first light. By the time the younger men arrived that morning, he was field dressing his buck. It was always entertaining for me to see some of his inventions. He was very creative and ingenious. Thank you Uncle Chuck for all the good memories you have left with me. I will miss you very much.
