Steve and Stan, so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad.
Our prayers & thoughts are with the family at this time . We have good memories of our camping days with the Alldredge Family when our children were young. Chuck has now gone home to be with the Lord & is in a much better place.
My deepest sympathy to the Alldredge family. May you find some comfort for your great loss in the promise found at John 11:25.
The Wiebler family is so sorry for your loss , you are in our prayers.
So sorry for your loss. He was the best maintenance guy to work with at LHS, when I worked there in the cafeteria. He would always honor requests made for help.
May memories wipe away your tears and bring you peace.
