Kelly having lost both my parents in their 90s in the past 3 years I know how difficult the passing of one’s parents can be. You think it will not happen and they will somehow live forever. Always remember the good things & the guidance he gave you growing up. I hope you always take comfort in knowing he loved you and your brother and sister and your mother. My deepest sympathy to you and the rest of your family.
So sorry to hear this sad news! Our sincere condolences to you and yours.

Sincere sympathy in your huge loss. Praying the good memories help bring peace and comfort during this difficult time.
My deepest sympathies to the entire Kernick family. Charlie was good man and a great father and husband. He was a fantastic Grandfather to Tyler and all his grandchildren. Charlie was greatly respected by all. I have a lot of fond memories of knowing Charlie and they all started playing ball on his own little field of dreams that gave so many kids their first taste of playing ball on the ball field at the front of the farm. Rest in peace Charlie.
Connie & All Your Family.
