We wish to extend our deepest condolences to the Conner's family after reading news of his tragic fall and death. He was well-established in the community as a painter. He was also well-known at Wilson's bar. He will be sorely missed. He had a genuine love for people.

Dear Charlie, Mike and Family:
My thoughts, prayers and love are with you at this time. I am so sorry that Chuck was taken away from you so tragically. I have so many fond memories of working with you all in Janesville, it was so fun and funny when Chuck was involved. You just never knew what that guy was going to say. I loved it. I am sad to know that I will never see him again. I know this has got to be so tough on you guys, so just try to find the strength to get through this.
Love and Peace,
Michele
