Charlie was one of a kind. We will miss his laughter and his humor. We loved him so much.
I am so sorry to lose such a good friend and cousin. Wish I could be there in person to pay my respects to the family but know how much I thought of him and how much he meant to me.
Rest in Peace Charlie. We will truly miss you. We will never forget all the good times at “THE STORE” and the lake and will always have many fond memories.
Norma, Tina and Mike, You have my sincere sympathy. Nancy
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
