"Uncle D.C. was so kind and sweet and a such a gentle soul! He will definitely be missed by all who knew him. I loved hearing him and Aunt Bonnie talk about their travel and camping adventures and enjoyed the family reunions over the years when we got to visit with them! I am sending my sincere sympathy to Bonnie, Becky and Danny and the entire family. I know that your loss is great! Love, Nola and Smokey Choquette"
