I just saw the memorial service video and it was so wonderful, Uncle Charlie would have loved it. I cried, and I laughed at the stories that people shared on how he has touched their lives in his own way. I just heard about this site on the video and thought I'd drop by and share what I remember about Uncle Charlie. Uncle Charlie was a very funny man and sometimes odd sense of humor, when growing up I remember I wasn't sure how to take him, was he serious or joking, and later I realized that mostly he loved to be funny. I don't ever remember seeing him without a smile which is a great thing! He always seemed happy and enjoying life. The last time I actually got to see Uncle Charlie was when they came for a visit to my moms house (Mary Flater)I say they because Uncle Charlie and Aunt Linda were always together what a great couple. Aunt Linda was just starting to try communicate again and needed a lot of help but I was amazed at Uncle Charlies love and patience and tenderness with Aunt Linda and I thought what a Lucky woman Aunt Linda is to have found such a wonderful man who truly does love her for better or worse, in sickness and health, for as long as they both shall live right....well, he most certainly did that didn't he! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as Uncle Charlie was a great man and I'm sure he will be there to greet us when it is our time...maybe even with some joke about how the white light was so bright I should have brought my shades:) Love, Cindy and family

My Uncle Charlie is famous for his sense of humor. When he opened his house to My son and I. I had never driven anywhere big like Columbus. He would tell me Columbus wasn't that big. Yet, first few times I drove to Indy. I was so proud of myself and told him I was a good driver. He told me know that God just told all the other drivers to move out of my way. Not to long after that, he let me park my car in the garage with A. Linda's car. I got up to go to work first. Backing up, I hit the garage door on the left side. My Aunt needed to leave and we couldn't get the door to move up or down. Not my proudest moment. I was so terrified to tell Uncle Charlie. Though, I shouldn't be. He was calm, collected, and made a joke. When I got home from work that evening. He even printed me out a Worst Driver's Award. He sure could make me laugh. I will really miss his spirit and laugh. All of my love, Uncle Charlie. You did so much for Michael and me. I could never repay you. Thanks for being such a Christian mentor for him. You will always have a special place in our hearts. I will see you in Heaven. Make room in your mansion. I may have to move into yours. (laughs) Xoxo your niece Stacey.

Memorial - Charles Schreiber Charlie seemed to us an ordinary Christian man with the same trials and temptations as any other Christian. Through his years he was faithful to the church he attended, served on church boards and taught bible classes. He had the gift of giving so he was faithful to give to the ministries of the church. After Linda (his wife) survived a massive stroke she was unable to get to the church on her own. Charlie took her to church and to the women’s group meetings that she loved so well. He took her out to eat, to the beach and fishing pier and even took her on trips to see family and friends. In other words, he tried to make her life as normal as it could be. He was kind and caring, always considerate of Linda and her needs. Sometimes he overwhelmed Linda with his attentions. Anyway, he sacrificed his own wants and needs to minister to Linda even to the sacrifice of his own health. In this manner he was unusual, anything but an ordinary man or Christian. He showed unconditional love and servitude to Linda in an extraordinary manner. What a testimony and example to fellow believers! Thank you, Charlie for taking such good care of my sister. You will be remembered for this and for other cherished memories. We loved you Charlie and will miss you! Your sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Jan Armpriester Jim Armpriester
