Charles, I can't believe it. You were so great to be around in camp. It was part thanks to you that I and some others became the people we are today. I'll always remember you and how you were always trying to have fun. Rest in peace and I'll see you up there in about 80 or so years.

Mr. Marvelous! Even in third grade you shone above all! Many years later you come into my life and the thought of you still brings a smile to my face! It was a joy and an honor to be your third grade teacher. You will be missed.

Charles...Mr. Marvelous! (as I would always say), man will I miss you more than words can express. It was often so comforting to look forward to our chats and the laughs that would always follow....your smile is imbedded in my memory forever....keep smiling. You know I do not believe in goodbyes we met for a reason and we will meet again. It was an honor to have you on my staff at Hesser College; it was an even better honor to have a friend in you over the years. I look forward to seeing you again....until then my friend!

May the hope of knowing you will one day see Charles again bring his family peace at this time.

Much Love
Theressa (T-Bone)
