I last saw your dad during Sunday service just after my father died in September 2012. I came with Barbara Pilosi. He was just as warm and friendly as always and I got a bagel for him during coffee hour. I last saw your mom and him just after Anthony Pilosi's funeral. I remember telling both of them, "I should have married Daniel." Smile. 

Karen: remember how we would always talk upstairs in the choir during sermon and Nadine Eskoff would get mad at us!

My mom died March 28, 2015. I still can't believe it. 

Hope you are all doing well.

Our deepest sympathy to all the kids and families from the Campbells, Jeff, Sue, Jordan and Marisa in Butler , PA We are sorry we could not be there to support you guys, but our prayers are strong .    Uncle Charlie was a Super guy and may he rest in piece.

On Poplar street we had many people who parented all of us.  All of the kids on the block knew this and our childhood was magical.  I have the fondest memories of our extended family; Ritchie, Dan and Karen and my other parents-Mr and Mrs Minchik.  Love to you all.  My heart is broken

My first experience meeting Charles and Jay was nearly 40 years ago when I arrived with Rich on the way back home from SUNY Oswego. Since then there has always been an open door, a place to hang my hat and a seat at the dinner table whenever needed. When I would greet Mr. Minchik he always returned the greeting respectfully a with crisp - Mr. 'John' (with or without my last name... it varied). Both Mr. And Mrs. Minchik were kind and loving in every way and always respectful of my friendship with Rich. My wife and I raised a glass with Charles when Jay left and they were apart... We will do that again to celebrate that they are reunited! Our love and condolences to Karyn, Rich and Dan; all the grandchildren; and all who knew Charles. (resubmitted with corrections)

Dad, 
My fishing buddy, He taught me more that anyone ever did and for being his little girl I was able to keep up with the boys to because of you.
I am so grateful that you were my Dad but now you are  back with the love of your life, Mom. Have fun canning and picking those blackberries. You will truly be missed.  Who am I going to call at 7p every night now.
Love you Daddy,

"Pop" was the best father in law any new bride could ever ask for. He continued to be a loving man in my life. Thanks for the care and devotion to our little family. Enjoy being back with Jay ! We know how much you missed each other.  Fondly, Colleen Thompson/Minchik  oxox
