Condolences
The family of Charles Laack has received the following condolences.
Charlie was a great guy! Our family spent a lot of time together as we were growing up at our grandparents home in Rochester. As adults, Charlie and I got together once in a while, just to visit and catch up. He was one of the funniest men I knew, and he had such quick wit and humor. He always had a smart comment to most statements made. He always had me laughing. I haven’t seen him for a few years, but I will always remember the laughter and fun. He brought to our Laack/Stilwell family. His love and his pride for Robby and Ace was always present if you were ever in a conversation with him. Gone too soon. Rest in peace, cousin Charlie.
❤️❤️ A class act uncle! ❤️❤️
You will be missed Charlie! I'll forever miss the tough love you showed. Your strength and motivation will still shine bright although you are gone. I'm sorry to your family, he was a great man...
Where do I start , so many years of wonderful memories, so many laughs shared so many life experiences so many talks .Charlie was one of a kind, always a joke to be told, always a smile on his face always time to visit, and always his devotion to his kids and grandkids he loved talking about them and singing there praises , I kind of suspect when Gabriel opened the gate for Charlie there was along conversation until Gabriel finally said “just come inThere are folks waiting for you. " i hope you know how blessed you are to have him for a Dad I am blessed to call him a lifetime friend.
with deepest sympathy
