Condolences for Charles Middlesworth

From Dave Villarreal
John, sorry for the passing of your dad. I remember when he would come over and try to tune our tv, when he and my step dad would take turns driving us to camp outs and the trouble you were in when our underground fort under the dog pen was discovered after the rains. So sorry.

From Thomas Kennedy
So sorry for your loss, John.

From Ken and Nancy Carl of Ohio
To Alberta.  We have heavy hearts, but we are so thankful that you were here for him these past 58 years and especially when he needed you the most.  Our prayers are with you.

From Jeanne Russow
To Alberta and family… I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I first met you (Alberta) and Charles at the Burley Kmart where I was the pharmacy manager. Over recent years I would see you shopping at Costco. My thoughts and Prayers are with you at this time.

Hugs, Jeanne
