As many of you know, Chuck was a man of strong convictions and deep
faith. He trusted completely in God and lived his life trying to
influence as many people as possible to put their faith in Jesus
Christ. He never held back but always gave everything he had – as a
husband, a father, a brother, a church leader, and as a business and
community leader, too. His energy was amazing, and even in his last
months and weeks, he spent a lot of time talking with people and
encouraging them. So many have expressed to us how deeply he
impacted their lives, and we’re so grateful.
Though we miss him terribly, we continue to pray that God will use
his life, his character and his witness to point other people to
Jesus, too. The entire family
would like to thank everyone for all of the prayer and support we've
received during these difficult times. It has been a tremendous comfort to
all of us and you have all been an incredible blessing.
Following is an excerpt from Dad’s
6-27-04 journal entry:
“Jeremiah said the wise man should
not boast in his wisdom, nor the mighty man in his might, nor
should the rich man boast in his riches. What we are to boast in
is that we know the Lord. Lord, I want to know you more. You
are my hiding place.”
The entire
family is very grateful for all
of your prayer and support we've received from everyone. It is
very comforting to see how much Dad impacted the lives of others.
We have to trust in God’s perfect plan for our lives and find
comfort in knowing that Dad doesn’t need to battle cancer any longer
and is now enjoying his perfect, eternal body in heaven... with
