We were so sorry to learn of Charlie's passing, but at the same time, that meant Glory for him to be in the presence of the LORD whom he loved and served so faithfully. We have wonderful memories of the six years Paul served with Charlie at BCH '82-'88. Our loving sympathy to Darlene and the family. Our prayers are with you. A card is in the mail.
