We had a lot of fun back in the day. We both had motorcycles and one time we were speeding down main street in Hutch, a cop chased us Charlie turned onto highway 7 and I went up college hill, the cop went after Charlie and I was in the clear, Charlie just got a warning and was told to pass that warning onto me. RIP Charlie class of 71

“Charlie” was such a nice guy. We always chatted any time we ran into each other. He could always bring you a smile and a laugh. I haven’t ran into him for such a long time. Rest in peace, Charlie, in the arms of Jesus. Hugs, thoughts, and prayers for the family. Jerilyn (Fratzke) Breitkreutz
