I met Charlie Towner when I taught at Our Mother of Sorrows School in the early 70s. He always had a smile for everyone, young or "mature". He loved coming into my classroom and visiting with the children. When I moved with my husband to Colorado we kept in touch. He was an amazing man and a wonderful friend. When I didn't hear from him at Christmas in 2019 I hoped that it was an oversight but now I know he went home. I still think of him often and the good laughs we use to share. I feel very blessed to have shared time with him.

I met Father Towner through my dad, my dad attended St. Ambrose as a child, when my dad became a professional, Father towner became a patient and a friend of the entire practice. He was always so nice to me and he knew that my dad always had a fascination with trains, so ever visit Father Towner always had a piece of a model train for my dad's collection, to see both men smile like that is priceless. I will deeply miss him, he was such a kind man, my heart goes out to his family who have become great friends as well.

I was so blessed to know Fr. Towner at St. Ambrose church where I went to school and attended Mass until I married and moved away in 1985. Fr. Towner heard my first confession as a child and heard many more after that. He helped the men of the parish build a swimming pool, which my dad and brothers helped with. That pool was enjoyed by the community for many years. Fr Towner was a good priest and though I lost touch with him over the years, we connected again on social media several years ago. I enjoyed reminiscing with him and hearing about his family. God bless you, Father. May the holy angels carry you into paradise. Prayers for all who love and miss you.

For thirty years, every single one of my birthdays was remembered and commemorated with a card (usually Snoopy themed) from Charlie Brown. My life was made infinitely better by his thoughtfulness and generosity. He will be fondly remembered. Love to you all at this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Sarah (Brauer) Merry
