_________________________________
The man was simply 'CHARM PERSONIFIED'!
Spending time in his company was pure pleasure. He was thoughtful of others, kind and terrific fun.
While visiting with guests in the family's large living room, Mister C. talked of Impressionist art and pointed to a massive gilded frame with the artist Monet's artwork presented there. It was one of his series of waterlily paintings -(a print), hanging behind the couch. He casually commented - 'The picture looks as good rightside up as it does upside-down!'
Mister C. suddenly jumped up on the couch, grabbed the heavy gold frame and swiftly flipped the picture, replacing it on the wall, now UPSIDE DOWN! He was correct! It looked just as good; It was wonderful - surprisingly wonderful - but then HE was wonderful too!
***** DAD *****
"We'll always remember that special smile, that caring heart, that warm embrace, you always gave us.
You being there for Mom and us through good and bad times, no matter what.
We'll always remember you Dad because there'll never be another one to replace you in our hearts, and the love we will always have for you."
