    Im in shock here, I first met Charlie in Wayland, really didnt see, him once or twice a year, the rust revival, maybe the Pile up or the Drags. Everytime we met it was like we just talked the day before, super nice guy, always asked about my projects and told me his plans for his stuff, and he knew how to have fun.I didnt make any of those shows, this year, due to my own problems, now I regret not getting to see him one last time.My prayers go out to all his family and friends. Im gonna miss you brother.

    Charlie and Nancy were wonderful people that we are going to miss greatly. Breeder and I have more friends through fellow Hambers that we see once or twice a year as we did Charlie that mean as much to us as the family members we see on a weekly basis. It truly has been no more of a year for our family than any others, we truly just wanted to pay our respects and love to a couple of wonderful people that we have some wonderful memories with. And Charlie, I am still sorry for running you over on the sidewalk at the first Rust Revival running after a fire extinguisher;) You both will be missed and we will enjoy talking of our memories with you for years to come!

    Charlie and Nancy were perfect for each other. I can only imagine how her loss was affecting him. I knew Charlie as more than a fellow kropduster, he was a friend who had soul and a heart of gold. May you both rest in peace.

    Damn! Thats horrible news. I can't even begin to imagine what hardships you guys have been through. Please accept my sincere condolences. Prayers for the family.

    When the road gets rough, think about the great times you shared with Charlie and Nancy. I pray those thoughts will smooth the trail.

  9. I can relate to Shana's thoughts about how close you can get to people you only see two, three, four times a year. I have friends I only get to see at certain events but once a year, but that doesn't mean I don't love them like a brother or sister.

    Words can't ease your pain but I WILL say this: Charley & Nancy were blessed to have friends like Todd & Shana. Good, genuine caring friends are a rare thing these days.

    Prayers sent to all of you.

    Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. Someone told me once when I dealing with the loss of a loved one, "Life isn't measured by how breaths we take but by how many events in our life that takes our breath away".

    Prayers are already sent.

  15. Todd, my heart is torn for you and you wife as well as the families who lots their love ones.
    Their love for one another must have been deep and true and infectious to those who's lives they touched.
    Yesterday was All Saints day, a celebration for those who've departed and are united in Heaven, a happy day.
    As my prayers go up for you and the crew, let's celebrate these souls God united, first here and now in His kingdom,
    along with the fond memories of Charlie and Nancy, painted on those photos you shared of with your family on the HAMB.
    Go bless ya brotha!

    ( Should'a PMed this one, huh?)
