How will we get by without your smiling face and teasing? Always willing to help, give advice or just talk. You were more than just a neighbor or the guy who kept my yard looking spotless, you were my friend and you will be missed. Teresa Harter and Stacey

Charlie and I are so very sorry for your loss. CD was a true friend and showed kindness and thoughtfulness to many people in our family, including my cousin Vic and my late mother Gerry. For my husband Charlie, CD was an expert fisherman and handyman who was always willing to be a mentor and friend. We will never forget CD. His strong faith in God is an example for all of us.

Thank you to everyone for the kind words and condolences. Grandpa was truly one in a million and he will be sorely missed. I keep thinking of Christmas day when he was playing with one of Mikey’s toys figuring it out like he did with other things. He taught me alot of things that I will always keep close and will pass on to my kids. From every back yard moment to going to the farmers market with you looking at people’s junk I enjoyed the time I had with you and I don’t regret a single thing. I love you Grandpa give everyone hugs and kisses for us.

CD and I were the last standing hunters from the very early group that hunted Bombay Hook. We spent many pleasant hours rehashing memories of hunts, guys we hunted with and stories about the hunts. one day last year he and I just spent the early morning hours rehashing stories with Oscar and never did go out to our stands until the afternoon. We go back to the 60’s hunting at the Hook before there were even stands. CD was a real class act and a real gentleman. I was truly heart broken when I heard of his passing. I will miss him and pray for him. MIKE

My most heartfelt sympathy goes out to his wonderful family. Truly a loss for all that knew him. He was a special friend and brother.
Always thinking back on our good old days, going skating in Maryland, double dating in Yvonne´s old green Plymouth, working
together at Pace, Inc. on the old airport, and the trips to the Farmer´s market. Though we lost contact over the years, he will
always be a part of my life. May God be with his loved ones. Rest in peace Brother till we meet again.
