Mr. Lane you will be deeply missed by alot of people. May you rest in peace. Our prayers go out to Margaret & the rest of the family. Our boy was looking forward to being in your class because of all the stories we had told him. Also my husband even told him a story about TP'ing your house. What memories you have left with all of us. You will be missed.

I was deeply saddened to learn the death of Charlie Lane.  We went to grade school and high school together as classmates and he was always a very nice young man.  I know the school and town of Cisne will miss him greatly.

We have lost a wonderful man. Mr. Lane was a great teacher and an amazing person.

With deepest Empathy for you loss.  He will be missed. I will always think of him when I think of family reunions as he was always at the Lane reunion to welcome you.  May God be with you and comfort you all in the weeks and days to come.

When I received news  CHS teacher Mr Charles Lane had passed away..was very deeply saddened. My last trip years ago to Illinois I stopped by CHS to walk the halls and reflect on many wonderful memories there as a student. And while there had a chance to speak with Mr Lane and tell him that he was one of my favorite teachers in high school. Am so grateful now I had that brief moment to tell him.Mr Lane I thank you for challenging me as a student..and to think outside the box. And I hope now in heaven..you can have great debate and discussion..with your favorite man of history..Thomas Jefferson..or as you referred to him as..TJ. Rest in Peace Mr Lane and May God Bless your Gifted Soul.And May God bring Peace and Comfort to all your family thru this very difficult time.God Bless and Much Love to all! Class of 1986

Mr. Lane will always be remembered as a wonderful teacher and a Great Man.  He touched many students hearts by the way he made learning fun and exciting.  The community has truely lost a Icon....... My Deepest Sympathy to the Family and Students who loved him.

Mr. Lane always had such a passion for teaching. He took on more than he had to, but did so because he wanted to do everything in his power to improve the lives of his students.  I was lucky enough to be one of those students.  He was a class act.  My prayers go up for Margaret and the rest of his family and friends, his students, and the North Wayne faculty and staff.  
CHS Class of '96

A former student from the 70's, He was an Awesome teacher and will be missed ...

I am a graduate of Cisne High School, Class of '67.  I knew Charlie to be a caring, compassionate, and gentle man.  He was one of my lab partners in Biology and he helped get me through dissecting that frog.  Sincere sympathy to the entire Lane family and especially to my old friend Donna.

Saddly missed by all. Now I will never get the chance to meet a great man.

As a former student from the Class of 1986, I remember so many fun times in Mr. Lane's class. He was a great teacher and made learning fun. He had a great sense of humor and found the good in every situation. He will be greatly missed.

Our sincere condolences to the Charles Lane family. We lift you, CHS and the entire community up in prayer. Mr. Lane may be gone from this earth, but his life work lives on in each and every one of his students. 
O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? (1 Corinthians 15:55)

Class of 1996

What a great teacher. He will be missed by so many people.

As a classmate of Charlie's from the class of 1967, I remember a highly respected leader.  He seemed serious, but had an unexpected, delightful sense of humor.  My deepest sympathy goes out to his family.  I'm especially thinking of you, Donna, and remembering our friendship.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Mr. Lane. The impact that he made on the community and his students is inexpressible. The amount of lives that he has touched is beyond comprehension. May God give those grieving the strength and comfort they need to face such a tragic loss.

A man who was an educator and mentor with his WHOLE HEART who will never be forgotten. Love and prayers to his loved ones and all who's lives he had such an amazing impact on...which is everyone he ever taught or even had a conversation with.

I was a senior in high school when Mr. Lane suggested I do some community service through a program at CHS.  He steered me toward tutoring at a local elementary school, told me I might have a knack for it.  I hated the idea, but went along with it mostly out of respect to Mr. Lane.  Now, I'm in the middle of my 12th year teaching elementary school!  You were right, Mr. Lane!  I cannot fathom how many thousands of other students Mr. Lane impacted.  He will be greatly missed.  Class of '96

It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to such an amazing man. His legacy will live on forever in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to sit in his class. - Jaime (Millman) Clark - Class of 1996

So very sad to be sending this note, Mr. Lane was such a great teacher always so caring and so knowledgable such a terrible loss.  Class of '84  and all others will be praying for comfort for all.

i will miss mr lane forever i wish my children could have had the oppurtunity to be taught by such a wonderful man with such a positive out look on teenagers...his class was the high light of my highschool education...class of 97

He made such a difference in our lives from my husband and I to my children. Our grandchildren had not got to know him and this we regret. This community has lost a nice man and a great teacher.

Such fond memories of your classes. Your smile & humor touched so many lives. I will never think of a computer g-string in the same way. May God's grace grant peace to you, and your family. We love you! Class of 1988.

Mr. Lane what a pleasure it was knowing such a great teacher and historian.  My children and I have gained such knowledge in your class that will be with us throughout our lives.  I thank you for everything you taught all of us.  You will be greatly missed but always appreciated. My deepest sympathy to his loved ones and friends.

The loss of Mr. Lane deeply saddens me, he was an inspirational educator who truly cared about all his students and treated everyone with respect and kindness. His passing will be felt by many for a long time to come. Rest in peace, Mr. Lane, and know how many lives you bettered by being the teacher and person you were.

What a great teacher!  You will be missed.  Prayers to his family and all who knew & loved him.

Charles and I took several classes together many years ago.  We enjoyed talking to each other and I'm quite certain we managed to solve most of the world's problems during those discussions.  I know he was a much loved and dedicated educator and I am greatly saddened by his death.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and students.

Mr Lane was such a wonderful person.He was my geography teacher in high school and he was such a wonderful teacher. He made it very easy to learn you could tell that he loved what he did and had a passion for it..Pest in peace Mr Lane you will always be in my memories and thoughts

Sorry to hear about Mr. Lane. His life touched a lot of students.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends.

Becky Garrison Richardson (Petersburg In.)

Mr. Lane was a wonderful teacher.  I always loved his class.  He had a way of making it exciting and it was easy to learn in his class.  He will be missed.  My deepest sympathy goes out to his family.

As a scholar bowl coach for a competing team, I grew to respect and admire Charlie for his love of teaching and how he treated others.  He will be missed by many, and I send condolences to his wife and all of those at Cisne High School who are grieving.

with deepest sympathy, know my thoughts and prayers are with you always

The loss of Mr. Lane will ripple throughout eternity forever. He was a great man with a great attitude. He faced his days with a smile and taught each subject like it was the most exciting subject in the world. He made a difference in the lives of so many and his educational legacy will continue on long past this generation. Mr. Lane will be dearly missed. - Heather (Backstrom) Dulaney - Class of 1993
