So sorry for your loss
Glad to have know Charlie!
So sorry for your loss
I always enjoyed talking with.
Dear Anthony & Greg I am heartbroken to learn of your dear Dad’s passing. You won’t remember me but I had the great good fortune of working for your Dad (and attending a couple fishing/dock parties). Your Dad was always so proud of his family. He was a great boss and a fantastic storyteller. Every morning people would come from all parts of the building and crowd into his office, spilling into the hallways just to hear his stories. No one could tell a story like him. He was a good man; a kind, thoughtful and generous man. The stars will twinkle as little less brightly without Charlie in this world. But knowing that he’s once again with his beloved Barbara provides some solace. God bless you both and your families as you move forward…one day at a time.
Love you♥️♥️
sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss.
I\’m sorry for your loss.
It was an honor to be his friend, my Bestus friend. He will live on in all of our memories. My deepest sympathy to his family. Love, Dawn
I sure wish I could be at visitation to pay respects to this fine person. I know his loss leaves a huge void in so many lives. I remember spending a couple of Thanksgivings at Sandy Pickard\’s where Charlie and Barbara came as well. Always a good time and the two of them just a hoot! Party in Heaven!!!
Always & Forever
Charles and our sister, Carolyn carried on the story telling that our mother instilled in us as young children. I am so envious that I don\’t have that talent. No longer can I read his FB post each morning about his dreams and brewing coffee. Rest in peace, brother.
Please take comfort in the thought that others remember Charlie for this warmth of heart, kindness and for being a Very SPECIAL person. He was a good friend Love Grace
Blessed to have met you!!
When I think of Charlie, all I can think of are the good times I had with him and his family. I still have his fish meal and hush puppies recipes. I used to go to the “smokers room” at work just to hang out with him and listen to his tales (even though I didn’t smoke). God Bless all his family.
Charlie was my boss for a number of years. He was the one that put me on the straight and narrow when I abused my sick days at work. He was a good fella and I spent many a time at his and Barbara\’s house and boatdock in Paradise. I\’ll miss his FB post. God Bless you Chaz and your family.
Charles and Barbara were good friends of our family. We all enjoyed the lake and fishing. Went to church together and loved helping others. Anthony and Greg my prayers are with you all and your families. He’s up there with my dad now and they are telling some fish tales! One day we will see them again. Can’t wait
Anthony and Greg, I have known you and your family for many years. I can say you are all good Christian people . Charles was always so kind and I can say I never heard him say a unkind word and was always so generous. I know he raised two fine boys to become fine men like himself. Your father was a man of integrity, faith and one who loved his family above all else and his legacy lives on through his children and grandchildren. Those who knew him loved him. I hate what has happened to him and your family. I will have all of you in my prayers . When you look at your children and grandchildren just know that they are part of Charles. That will put a smile in your heart.
Sending love to his family
