Dave's tribute to his brother.
Chuck was my older brother. Work with Nelson & Sons Builders was always a competition where Chuck always pushed everyone to do more, faster, and better. Chuck not only worked hard, but he played hard. He loved to do flips on our trampoline. I can remember him as a young man easily carrying 2, sometimes 3, bundles of shingles at a time up a 2-story ladder; I was able to do one at a time. He used to take me pike fishing at the small lake at Krampe park when I was little; I absolutely loved those trips. He was a true outdoorsman. We loved you brother and miss you greatly. Thanks for being an awesome brother and friend. Until we meet again. Love, David.

Father Daughter Dance
From the moment I was a little girl I dreamt of the day my dad would escort me down the aisle and dance with me. I will never forget this moment and the happiness I felt finally getting to live that dream through. We danced to “I Loved her First” by Heartland. This was one of my favorite moments together with you! Miss you so much Daddy-O.
