[Clayart] Passing of one of us.

[Terry Lazaroff]

I was a part of a group on messenger.  Search “Chuck Wissinger”
I ask Fulden, his spouse, if there is an obituary being posted on line.   Many people who were a part of his contacts got the message when Chuck was placed in a hospice.  He passed shortly after.
