Guestbook
Whenever we think of Chuck, we think of your travels, his photography, his bakery and his wonderful smile and sense of humor. He was a delight, and he will be missed by everyone. We are so sorry we could not be there, but our hearts are with all of you.
I just want to express my deepest sympathy to the entire Muenzer family and extended families. I am deeply saddened by the news of the death of Chuck Muenzer. He will never be forgotten. And I can honestly say he made my first and last delicious apple fritter. I have tried many without the same appeal. I remember biking up the hill in Dassel to get the mail and then heading to the bakery for a donut. I always had the same. He will always be remembered and know he is loved by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you all….
When I worked for Chuck at the bakery were some of my more fun times of work as I was growing up. I still talk about the good times to my friends and kids as I learned how to bake. I enjoyed running into him every once and awhile and hear about his trips and camping stories. He was a great guy and role model. Bernie
so very sorry of the loss of husband and father. Sending God’s Blessings to all. Heart felt prayerss to all. Chris O’Connell
