Uncle Ches you will be missed. Always the quiet one in the family but always felt the love from you. I know you will now be with Linda, Grandma & Grandpa Fusselman, My Dad, Uncle Gene, & Aunt Wanda. I am sure they greeted you with open arms.
I will always remember how you and Aunt Linda were the perfect couple with so much love between you. A funny memory is how you both would always cover your face whenever anyone was trying to take a photo of you two. It always made me laugh, the whole family made it a challenge to see who could get your photo! You will be truly missed. Love you so very much, your Niece.
