To the Zanotti/Pike Families.

The memories that I have of Charley and Lu are very happy ones. The first thing I thought of when Charley died is that Lu was welcoming him with open arms. You will all have your beautiful guardian angels watching over you. Your strong faith will help you all during this most difficult time.

I wish you all love, faith, hope and sympathy.

May God Bless and watch over all of you,

Lori

I was saddened to see Charlies' passing. We competed against one another in High School and I always liked and respected him. He was a tough competitor and a gentleman. I hope his young son plays as hard as his dad did. My best wishes to his family that I have never met. I am truly sorry for your loss. He was way to young and a good, good guy.

I remember Charlie as one of the best of all the good guys from the old neighborhood. We were all so fortunate to grow up within the sound of the Bells of St Mary of the Assumption, where every parish family knew each other from school, church activities and of course the playgrounds. Charlie was an excellent baseball player in the parking lot in front of the church and a great football player as well. Our parish family and neihborhood has lost a fine man. My sincere condolences and prayers go out to his loving family and many friends.

I never got a chance to meet Charlie. Aunt Nellie really loved and was very proud of him. She also told us about all the things he had done for her and what a wonderful father he was.

Charile was like the brother I never had. We had a brother to brother relationship that lasted over 30 years. He persuaded me to by my first motorcycle, an expirence I will always remember And though I moved around a lot, we never lost toutch. He was a true friend. He could count on me, and I could count on him.
