Happy Heavenly Birthday Dad!!! I love you!!! ❤️ 

Happy Father’s Day Dad!!!  

I love you.  ✝️😁🙏🏻❤️

We are so saddened to learn of Chuck's passing. We first met Dee and Chuck on our very first cruise in the late 1980's aboard the Star Princess. We were seated at the same dinner table and had great fun over the week visiting exotic Caribbean destinations. We visited them in Minnesota in 1992 when we went to the Final Four in Minneapolis. They visited us in Florida shortly after we moved here in 1998. Chuck was a kind and funny man who, along with his beautiful Dee, obviously made a great impression on us as a young couple. We stayed in touch over the years and looked forward always to Dee's wonderful Christmas cards. We will keep Dee in our thoughts and prayers and will always remember Chuck with great fondness.

Thinking of you Dad as it is coming up on one year. I love you. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHUCKLES!
Chuck, Lambeau and I were blessed by your friendship.  They say that friends are the spice of life, YOU were definitely one of the spiciest, and we enjoyed every minute of it.

We miss you,
Love & Blessings,
Mary & "Beau" (Chuck with you in heaven)

To love and be loved are two of the most wonderful experiences one can have.  We know Chuck experienced them both to the fullest.

Love and Huggs to you Dee.




Chuck was my closest cousin on my father's side.  We went fishing, hunting and even on a family vacation together.  Chuck invited me to several salmon fishing trips on Lake Michigan in his boat and offered my wife and I a place to live when I went back to graduate school.  While in college I came down to help Chuck build a garage and found the fellow helping him didn't know what he was doing.  Being a carpenter's son, I knew more than anyone there, but as the youngest of the crew I had a challenge giving direction until Chuck ordered the crew to do what I said.  Chuck organized our only Frechette/Barnes family reunion and put us all up at the lodge he owned on Lake Mille Lacs.  Chuck was a huge influence on me growing up and being more than a decade older than me I looked up to him with great admiration.  I've added photo of Chuck in his Air Force uniform.  I have many more on our family Shutterfly site.

Chuck will be missed greatly, but the fond memories I have with him will last with me.

My memory of Chuck that stuck with me all those years was when I spent a week with Kathy in Minneapolis. Chuck took me on a scary, adventurous ride on his motorcycle through the streets of Minneapolis with cars zooming all around. I was 14. What fun! I also remember his humor. Thank you cousin. Rest in peace.

Dear Aunt Dee and Jill,

Our love for Uncle Chuck will forever be in our hearts! It is with no doubt his smile and sparkling eyes are two things we  will always remember about him—they were always present when we saw him in person and in every single picture taken of him!  In his youth and up until his death, he was handsome, adventurous, funny, hardworking and courageous.  If he was here, he may say we forgot to mention a few kind adjectives and then smirk and twinkle😊.   I remember my dad saying Chuck was his hero—I can understand why.  We know from experience he could also be the life of the party.  My favorite memory—he was an all-around WONDERFUL Uncle who was loved and will be missed.  May the memory of his life with you and his love for you continue to shine.

All our love,
Kathy and Doug



We were fortunate to be introduced to Chuck and Dee in 2001 by Mike and Cheryl Winge in Minnesota. The six of us and Clyde and Arlene Rehbein went on an Alaskan cruise together. That was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. After that cruise, the four of us traveled to twenty one countries together. Often the trips lasted three weeks in duration and Chuck was game for anything! He always had a smile and a twinkle in his eyes and never had a down or "grumpy" day.
We will always appreciate the support and friendship that we have known through the years. We will miss you.
Love,
Don and Sylvia Andersen





We remember all of the trips around Arizona and Las Vegas with the 4 of us and will especially miss our Saturday sequence games. It has been an extreme pleasure to know you and we will miss you're smiling face.

Dee,  

Many fond memories of someone who lived a full life.  I will always remember the day you and Chuck met so many years ago.  Being a part of your life together, sharing many fun times, will be cherished forever. 

Love,   Cee

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us everyday.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
Perhaps Chuckles time seemed all too brief
He wouldn't want you to lengthen it now with undue grief.
His life has been full, good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. 
Death leaves a heartache no one can fill, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Many lovely memories of you, Chuckles, and our times together as couples.
Love always, 
Mary & Beau  (Hug my Chuck for me)
