The Ahrens family,
I am very sorry to hear of Charles' passing. Although you probably don't remember me, Charles was a friend of my grandparents, Lyman & Florence Morris of W Palm Beach, and as a boy I spent a few weeks each summer at their house off of Bunker Ranch Road. When I was about 10 or 12, Charles used to take me along with him, fishing offshore in a little blue ski boat. We used to catch huge kingfish and I remember one time Charles brought along his mother to fish with us. Over the years I have thought about Charles many times and wondered how he was. Looking thru the paper Monday, seeing his obituary, I was saddened, but at the same time, reminded of those wonderful times fishing with him as a boy. What great memories. My deepest condolences to his family. Please know he touched my life in a very positive way. Godspeed.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. He was a special person who touched the lives of those around him. Remember surviving the hurricane with your Dad. He was always loads of fun with a smile on his face. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love,

Richard(roomie), I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. As you know I had the greatest respect for him. He was a terrific guy. He kept me motivated on those stretch cords many a night. And I know he's got that flashing light going right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Judy and your sister. Call me if you need someone to talk to that thought a great deal of your Dad.
