Oh Chuck. Oh dear! We were just talking via email about this very thing happening, and we hoped he would go quickly if no hope was left.

 

Yes, he is with his beloved Mickey, for oh how he missed her so. His love for her was a most beautiful thing, and you could hear it in every word.

 

Chuck, I don't know what to say right now to make YOUR pain go away. You guys saw each other every week. The transition will be most difficult. But as you stated, you have SO many wonderful memories. Me too!

 

Here's to our friend. May he rest in peace.

Art passed away early this morning in his sleep.

I hope I have learned something by the way he lived his life.

Here's a photo I took at Don Burgett's house four years ago. I took this of Papa and Don. It has a lot of special meaning to me.

I am doing this for Chuck, here is his wonderful idea.

 

Mare; I have a special request. I have asked Toni & Terri to keep their dads computer on so that whoever on your forum would care to tell "Papa Art" in just a few words how they enjoyed him thru the years, it would be a uplift to his daughters. I do believe that his involvement in emailing kept him going. It was his window. I thought I should ask you if it would be OK to put it on "shooting The Breeze" along with his email address.

 

chuck

 

I have posted this request on WBG's forum and Don Burgett's.

 

Here are links to their forums, so Toni and Terry and the whole family can see all the condolences posted there too.

I am planning on sending an arrangement from all of us. If anyone would like to make a small donation towards flowers, I will be happy to handle the purchase and delivery to the family. Please note, I realize that not everyone can do this, and that is totally fine. Any money in excess will be donated to the charity of the Morneweck's choice.

 

Thanks my friends,

M1

I'm so sorry to hear this. It's hard to believe that I won't be getting anymore emails from him. I enjoyed him so very much. His presence here was truly a blessing for us all.
