Charlie and I enjoyed many an early morning conversation at Williams Mail Service. He loved music and raved about his Bose system. Sharing his sense of humor and overall congeniality was a great way to end the work day. Charlie will be greatly missed!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sorrowful time. May you find comfort in the knowledge that you now have another "special angel" watching over you from above.
