Charley closed his final traverse on February 20, 2019 at the age of 80.?ÿ His license was active. He was my partner, my friend and my dad.
He died naturally and peacefully.
I sure will miss him.
Fine words of honor.
Life is a one-way ticket; make the best of it while you can...
My condolences.
My prayers and wishes are for you and the family.?ÿ Losing a patriarch leaves a big hole.
I first tail-chained behind my father.?ÿ Over the years we worked together and partnered several times.?ÿ He left this Earth almost thirty years ago.?ÿ I still keep his shingle on the wall and talk to him almost every day.
I wondered a number of years back if I would ever stop talking to him.?ÿ?ÿ I never have and don't regret it.
I agree with Paden.?ÿ I lost my father at age 91 last May.?ÿ He was, by far, the finest man I ever knew.?ÿ Any time I have an ethical question I stop and ask, :What would Daddy do?"?ÿ Keep those memories of your father close, the pain will eventually fade but those memories last for your life.

Condolence to you and yours.
Sorry for your loss, I am sure you will carry on his legacy for years to come...
My condolences.?ÿ Losing a parent is difficult.?ÿ Remember the good times and advice.
Sorry for your loss.
Charles,
There is wisdom in the words from Paden. You will catch yourself thinking, 'I should call Dad and ask what he thinks', followed by a roller coaster of emotion. Go ahead and talk with him. Don't forget to listen.
The brain is an amazing tool. More often than not, the words Dad would have had for me come. Call it whatever you want, but it brings me peace. It also keeps me from doing some stupid stuff, just like when he was still with me..
Peace to you, Tom?ÿ
My condolences to you and family. He was a true gentleman.
I just found a plug/tack in a sidewalk yesterday that we found together in 1987. I looked through the file and found the original notes (from the city surveyor) and it was there in August of 1927. I remembered that plug and tack and was absolutely beaming when I discovered it was still in place. The tack is mostly gone but the plug is in good shape.
I didn't survey with my dad, but I did farm with him.?ÿ Your statement of his passing speaks of both love and respect.?ÿ May you continue to honor his memory in your surveying career.
Sorry to hear of your loss and also a loss to the surveying community.?ÿ I knew and respected Charley, he was always a kind, fun loving gentleman that I am glad to have had the pleasure of meeting and spending a little time with when we did. RIP Charley.?ÿ
