  7. Sorry to hear of Chuck’s passing. He and Arlene were good friends when Lottie and I lived in Hettinger. One of my favorite memories of Chuck was the time we were out hunting and he left his shotgun leaning on the back of the vehicle. We drove off and then he realized he didn’t have it. Fortunately, we were able to find it, and we hadn’t run over it either. My heart goes out to you Arlene.

  13. Arlene and family, we send our prayers and sympathy to you. Remembering the many good memories of you in He ttinger.

  14. Arleen, you and Chuck were so very kind to our family when we moved to Hettinger. There were many days where we would pull up to your store with the stroller and you would welcome us in with a smile and open arms, even though we had little people in tow and you had many beautiful and breakable items on display. I always enjoyed chatting with you two. You were always busy but took the time to express your true friendliness. You were very missed when you left that community and Chuck will be greatly missed by many because he was an outstanding man. You and your family are in our thoughts, memories and prayers.

  15. Dearest Frisch Family,

    If it wasn’t for Chuck & Arleen Frisch I would never be so lucky to have a life long friend in their daughter Kristi.
    I will always be grateful for that.
    With much love,
    Julie (Dailey) Buck
