I am sorry to hear of Charles death. My sympathies go out to his family, for I know they have lost a fine person.
My memories of Charles go far back in time! I grew up with him during his early years in Rochester. Actually I am about 4 years younger, but Charles, my sister, his next door neighbor Phyllis, "Bobby" from across the street, and Dorothy from the next street over were all very close in age. We all hung around together and had many good times together.
Then Charlie moved far out to Penfield. My folks managed to visit a couple times a year, and that was my first exposure to barns, barnyards, and that way of life.
On one of those trips, Charlie introduced me to the clarinet, and his playing "The Flight of the Bumblebee". How could a person make their fingers move that fast?
Far out in the back of their land there was a clump of trees with a small cabin on it. Charlie used to load us into an old Model "T" they had and take us out there.
Every time we go by that house, memories still come back!
What a fine person. I only wish we had stayed in touch more over the years.

I have known Charlie since I was 15 years old and started hanging around with his son, who ended up being my brother in law. He was always very interesting to talk to and treated us kids as equals. Later in life I found out he flew many WWII bombing missions aboard the B-17 Rupture Duck, one of my favorite planes of the war. He shared with me some of the details of what it was like during that perilous time in his life. I was amazed at the sacrifices he and others made during that war. As a talented musician I had many opportunities to hear him play solo and jamming with his bands. Once I saw him and his Shrine band set up a hotel pool in Florida, they had all the guests dancing to the impromptu concert, it was pretty cool to watch. I happened to tape him during that performance and it was one of the first times he had seen himself with the band playing on tape. I am sure wherever he is now he will be playing his sax, having a scotch and talking. I will miss his grin, chuckling laugh and quick wit. Charlie, you made an impression on me and I am glad I had a chance to know you, thanks.
