Dear Barb, Wendy and I were sorry to hear about Chuck and want to express our condolences to you and your family. We look forward to seeing you on Monday. Sincerely Ray and Wendy.

Please know that our family is thinking of you and yours at this time.
We were sorry to hear of Mr. Mckenzies passing.

Chuck….hard-worker, funny, always keeping busy, horse-lover, proud husband, father and grandfather. This only begins to describe a man who was a true one-of-a-kind. At this extremely difficult time of loss and pain, we remember Chuck’s exuberance and love for his beloved horse. He was a light in our lives that never let anything get him down. My father, Frank, felt like they were brothers – kindred spirits. You and the family are in our thoughts as you find your way though this. We are praying for your healing, with the passage of time. We know you miss him. We send our understanding and consolation. Know that the strain, the pain,
will eventually ease. May your pleasant memories sustain and comfort you. You are in our thoughts today and every day forward.

Dear Barb,
Chuck will be missed by many. He taught our daughters, Sam and Carly so much at the Grelo’s farm over many years. Our family sends our heartfelt condolences to you and your lovely family.

Dear Barb

Guy and I wish to pass our deepest condolences you and your family

Chuck was an amazing man. He was a good friend and was always there to lend a hand. He will be greatly missed by all.

Sincerely Guy and Laura

Dear Barb,
Thank you for sharing Chuck with all of us at the farm. He had a huge heart and will forever be remembered. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Dear Barb. Though I have not had the pleasure of meeting you in person, the strengthening bond of our shared family history leads my thoughts to be with you during this difficult time.

Dear Barb,
Chuck will be in everyone’s hearts for ever. He always showed me how to fix various things around the barn when I was young and took the time to explain everything into full detail for me even tho i was only 14 years of age at the time. I will always remember a conversation we had about how to build a fence, and we talked about building a fence from start to finish, for an hour and a half… Chuck had such patience, and i will always remember him for the rest of my life. my heart goes out to you and all of your family and friends.

Want to express my sadness to the McKenzie family on the loss of Chuck. I knew Chuck through Cedar Mills Andalusians / Grelo Farms over the past 18 years. He was a wonderful person to share the love of horses with and a good and hard-working man. Please accept my family’s sincere condolences on his passing.

The Attard-Farney Family

Hi Barb
If anyone is going to be missed it will be Chuck. I am so very sorry to have heard of his passing. Will see you on Monday.

Our sincere condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you .

Our sincere condolences and prayers for you and your family. Chuck meant so much to so many people, a true friend in so many ways and always there to help whenever there was a need. He will be greatly missed. With love and prayers to you all.

Virginia and Cliff Mees and family.

Dear Barb and Familly;
We will always remember happy times visiting, camping and fishing together, We will see you Monday.

Barb and family,
So sorry to hear. Chuck will be dearly missed. Chuck taught me so much about how to ‘fix this’ or ‘fix that’ at the then Cedar Mills. I called him “Uncle Chuck”. He spoke often of you all. As I watched (and tried to stay out of the way of the drill or hammer) he’d speak proudly of his family. The trips with you Barb, the lovely home you have and many reno projects going on. Marnie, he was so proud of you going back to school. And of course, I’d hear about the life-learnings of his grand-kids and their latest new-word spoken. My deepest condolences to you all. Chuck and you all are in my prayers.

Barb and Family
Your husband and father was a dedicated family man, we shared many stories about the joys of grandchildren, his family was everything to him. I’m deeply saddened for your loss.

Dear Barb,
How can we even begin to describe the wonderful man that Chuck was? Kind, giving, selfless only scratch the surface of his true character. We have so many fun and loving memories to cherish of the many hours spent with Chuck and Corcel. He was truly instrumental in developing Leah’s riding career.
He will always hold a special place in our hearts.
We hope you and your family can cope with your loss knowing that he was so loved by so many.

dear barb and family
I am so very sorry for your loss. chuck was a great man and always made me feel welcomed and always had a joke here and there and it always made me laugh. he will be greatly missed. may god bless you and your family through these hard times my prayers are with your family.

Dear Barb,
Chuck was a fellow Cummins employee. He was always fiesty. He was determined to make sure his customers received the best support – I sure admired that about him. Chuck had a lot of common sense and gave willingly of his expertise when asked. There are many in the Cummins family who knew Chuck. We shall morn his passing. He was well liked. He made us think. He kept us on our toes. He made us laugh. Sometimes he showed us a thing or two. What he gave us most was a sense of accomplishment and pride in what we were about. Thanks for sharing him with us. We have you in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

Chuck clearly was a very big part of the Cedar Mills family. He has been missed during his illness, and will continue to be missed. As Brenda mentioned, he spoke of you and your family (including the dogs and the fish in the pond!) often, and I feel as though I know you all really well even though we only met a few times. There’s only one thing Chuck loved more than Cedar Mills and that’s his family. You were very lucky to have had such a devoted n husband and father. As much as we’ll miss him, I can’t imagine the immense hole he leaves in your hearts and in your lives. His memory will live on in our hearts.

Barb, what a sad time for you and your family. My thoughts and heart felt feelings are with you all.
My memories of Friday night quadrilles, Saturday lunches and fall hacks with Chuck are my fondest memories. He was always there as a friend, a big brother, and sometimes a pain in the ass but always with support, love and laughter.
He will be missed with great memories of times shared.
We were all so lucky to know him.
Please know that he was loved,
Tami

I am so sorry to hear of Chuck’s passing. I will always remember Chuck as a man with great energy and enthusiasm. He often talked of his family and his beloved fish pond, and was so helpful and a true force of nature to be around! He will be missed and remembered fondly. My thoughts are with you, Barb and your family at this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Jaclyn

We express our deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband/father.Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Barb and family, Dana and I are so saddened by Chucks passing. He was a wonderful man and will be missed by many..our thoughts are with you and the family.
Helga and Dana Omstead

My thoughts are with all of Chuck’s friends and family. He was always so dedicated to everything and everyone he loved. I spent most of my teenage years growing up at Cedar Mills and Chuck was definitely apart of that. I appreciate the rides home he used to give me, the hot chocolates/donuts on the cold winter weekend mornings and the conversations we used to have.

Dear Barb, Michael & Marnie,
Nothing is harder than losing someone you love….. Find strength in your memories as it is a special place in our hearts where we find comfort and peace; may this help you though this difficult time.
Chuck was a very kind and gentle soul who will be deeply missed. He will live forever in your memories and in your hearts. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time.

To the McKenzie family. I only knew Chuck through business with Cummins. I always had a lot of respect for him and the way he conducted business. I will always remember the Cummins meetings we shared together, his smiles and his humor. He was a great person.

Barb, we are deeply saddened by your loss. May your many happy memories help to lessen the pain of Chuck’s passing. Our thoughts are with you and your family,

Betty

Dear Barb

I’m not sure where to start. Chuck was the employee every company wished they had. He was always the first to volunteer, the first to lend assistance, the first to respond and was always precise. He always had time to help others in our organization and our folks learned a lot from Chuck. Chuck even volunteered his time to lend his assistance to us during his tough battle over the past eleven months. Chuck loved Cummins and we were very fortunate to have such a dedicated employee and we owe much of our success to Chuck’s endless effort.

I will deeply miss Chuck. He was my fellow employee but most of all he was a cherished friend. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Bob

Dear Barb,
On behalf of the members of the Cedar Mills Classical Riding Club I would like to express our condolences to you and your family. Chuck was a highly respected long time member of the Club. He was a friend to all and helped many of us as individuals. He also worked tirelessly for the Club. We are all saddened by his passing.
Sincerely
Helen Sare

So sorry to hear from Joan about Chuck’s passing, Barb. Although it’s been a couple of years since I saw all of you our thoughts and prayers are with you at this devastating time. All the family and childhood memories come flooding back. I hope you can find comfort in your children and grandchildren at this time. Will be thinking of you and the rest of the family on this very sad day.

I am very sad to hear about Chuck’s passing. He was a compadrie and true friend in the engine business. Whenever I needed someone to talk to about an issue, I always found a sympathetic ear in Chuck. I am going to miss him a lot. My heart goes out to his family in this time of sorrow. He will be remembered by all who knew him in the Cummins family for his dedication and strength of character.

Our deepest sympathy to your family .

Dear Barb and Family,

I have worked for Cummins for 4 years and I wanted you know it was great having Chuck to call on for help as I was learning the ropes with a new company. He would always drop what he was doing to lend a hand and offer good advice when dealing with sensitive situations. I would call Chuck from time to time when he was ill and I was always amazed by his positive attiude during this painful time. The mourning process isn’t easy, however, with a family that Chuck raised you will most definitley have a strong support system that will ease the pain. Chuck will be with you in the eyes of his children and grand children,certain phrases he use to say will be remembered and spoken without thought and hopefully they will bring a smile.

God bless you all.

Brett Andrews

Barb, Michael & Marnie
So sorry to hear about Chuck. Leanne said she read it on facebook last night. Our deepest sympathy from myself, Leanne & Dan.
Sincerely Sylvia

We are so saddened to hear about the passing of Chuck. Nothing but fond memories I have of working and riding with Chuck at Cedarmills farm. I remember many Saturday mornings starting a woodworking or some kind project at the farm and spending most of the day along side with Chuck. I really enjoyed his determination, expertise and humor…. Also a great team player as when we had our senior quadrille team and spent many hours rehearsing and finally performing. It was great to have spent the time I did with him. I will cherish the photo’s I have of us together.
Sincerely Andrew

Barb- my deepest sympathy at this sad time. I was thinking about Charlie last night and found myself filled with nothing but good thoughts. When I was young, being one of the youngest cousins, Chuck would always take time out to spend with me (teaching me archery, flying his planes, etc.), I will always remember him fondly as a very kind and giving man to all. Be strong and know are thoughts are with you at this time.

Barb, Mike, Marnie

As you know, we will share the loss together as we have all lost loved ones recently

Our thoughts are with you all

Nick, Kori, Casie
