  • I express my condolences to Len, Ron and Larry who have lost their father. I also extend sympathy to Laurette who enhanced my uncle's life during their marriage. It is the end of an era where the Cherlet family who immigrated from Belgium to Marhall, Minnesota and then Swan Lake, Manitoba has passed. When you grow up on a farm you learn many values that sustain you through life and I know he passed those on to his sons. I spent a lot of time with my uncle when first wife was ill and got to know him a little better. My he rest in peace. Maggie Nishimura - Posted by: Maggie Nishimura (niece) on: Feb 22, 2015
