November 5, 2024 at 6:57 amMay Creator guide you home to your Family. I grew up seeing Charles “Chuck” Keeshig when buying chips & pop at his Mothers store. I didn’t know him that well but he always had a funny side of humor when he chatted with me. My brothers grew up with him. Our families all knew one another. The last time I saw him was when my Mother passed away. I said “hi David”! he laughed at me and said “Im not David, I’m Chuck”..lol I laughed and said “oh sorry” he just laughed and said “you better be” jokingly. May your family find peace and comfort at this time. May you rest in peace with all your relatives in the Spirit world Charles “Chuck” Keeshig. My deepest condolences Kathleen Lavalley.
