To the Deis Family:
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Charles. He will be missed by all of us. What a great guy he was. I worked with Charles when he headed up the Gashland Presbyterian Church Building & Grounds Committee and was very impressed with the way he handled the meetings and origanized the work days so that every one knew what to do and the supplies to do it with. He certainly was a man of God and was always helping those in need. We know there is little we can say to relieve your pain except to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and loved ones in Heaven and relieved of all suffering.

Mr.Deiss was the dad and scoutmaster we all admired. Taught us so much and a wonderful family man.
Rest in peace
