Dear Frances,
GELES
N, U. S. A.
Our hearts are heavy over the recent loss of your father, Gerald. He will be remembered for his
hard work, dedication, and kindness. We know that his presence will be greatly missed by many
throughout the community, even more so among the families that he met though his work at the
Tribe and service in the local school district.
As a leader of the Lower Elwha Tribal Council, and as a strong supporter of the preservation of
Tribal history, Mr. Charles will be remembered for his diligent support of work at the cixWican
Village site. Those who knew hien best will fondly recall his love of children and nature, as well
as his respect for the longstanding cultural practices of his Tribe, passed down through the
practices of his native ancestors. His contributions to the community were many.
On behalf of the City Council and staff, please accept our condolences. Your father will be
greatly missed.
Sincerely,
v1
