We just heard the news and want to extend great big hugs and prayers to the entire family, especially to Esther. We Love You *SO* much and know what a great partner in life Charles was to you. He is one of the greatest men, we’ve ever met. I’ve personally had the pleasure & honor of knowing and getting to work with Charles, since the 80’s. He is one of the most authentic and genuine spirits, I’ve ever known. My admiration for Charles & Esther’s beautiful friendship, marriage and work relationship surpasses all others. They are a true inspiration. They have done amazing work for the Willard Community, and we strive each day to carry on their tradition. Charles was a phenomenal printer! The very best in his trade! Our team is blessed to have been trained by him. We will wear your apron proudly, Charles! We will continue to use your methods. We will never forget what a talented, kind, and gracious soul you are and every time we run your equipment, we will think of you fondly. So much Love and prayers of comfort to the Hafner Family..... our hearts are with you. xoxoxo

So sorry Carol. I remember when your dad took some photographs of me in black and white to put in the yearbook my senior year. I also remember he and my dad collaborating on printing jobs. Hugs to you.
