in honor of Charles.

Dear Rachel and family - I’m sorry we’ve lost track of one another over the years. And more sorry to “find” you again in this manner.
We were blessed to meet you and your Chuck in person thirteen years ago at your home while we were driving from Florida to Utah. What a delightful man and family.
Our sincere condolences to you all…and may you find comfort in all the love Chuck so obviously had from so many people.
With the Love of Jesus, our Savior,

Alexa and Rob and Rocky Swiniarski

I’m not sure monitor post came through. Chuck was a dear friend and former roommate at University. He always seemed to have a smile, brilliant insights and fun stories to share. I can hear his voice and see him now as I write. His parents, sister, and darling wife all felt like extensions of my family. My biggest regret is my losing touch with Chuck over the last several years. He will be sorely missed and my condolences to his wonderful family for their loss.

When I was in 6th grade at Cistercian Preparatory School, I had an extra-credit assignment in history class to translate a lengthy passage from ancient Greek to English. My parents didn't know anyone who could read/write ancient Greek, but they basically said, "If anyone does, Mr Helms does." So, I called him, and we met up one Saturday in the summer. He spent well over an hour translating this passage with me. He was slow and methodical, ensuring I understood what I was doing and not just doing it for me. I genuinely walked away from that hour-long tutoring session knowing a good amount of ancient Greek. I knew all the letters, important words--and I got the extra credit. All in an hour!
