• Dear Chas, it has been about 6 weeks since we said goodbye and not a day has gone by that I don't think about you. I have such an overwhelming feeling of loss my dear brother, but I know you will be watching over all of us until the day we will meet again. Love you forever - Posted by: Shirley(Gledhill) Baker (Sister) on: Mar 08, 2014

• I wrote this poem as a tribute to the life of my father and want to share it with all of you. It's aptly titled, Goodbye Charlie... Today we all gathered to celebrate dads life, With friends, our family, and our mom his loving wife. Adventures, the challenges, not one did he fail, His journeys became stories, not one was a tale. Had the strength of 10 horses, a will like a bear, The memory of an elephant, as most would know not easily scared. Like Jesse James, John Wayne, toughest hombre's of the West, Stacked up beside my dad they were only second best. Had a passion for airplanes, knew each one that passed by, Those eyes always watching, scanning the open sky. Forty years with the railway, worked hard for his due, Need something fixed right, he was the man for you. Enjoyed mother nature, had a love for fresh air, Spending time with his family, no worries not a care. Worked hard teaching his boys to be strong and proud, To look after themselves, to stand out in a crowd. He's now the brightest star way up in the sky, Looking out for his family with that watchful eye. We'll miss those stories of life that you oh so loved to tell, From all of us here dad, we bid you farewell. May you rest in peace... The Gledhill's - Posted by: Scott (Son) on: Jan 30, 2014
