Dear Chuck,Mary Alice and Mary,
We just learned of your Dad's passing, your Dad always had a smile for everyone and that is how we will remember him. May your memories make you smile and know that he isn't far away.

It was with great saddness I heard of Charlie's illness and then his death. I have known Charlie for approximately 30 years and watched as he shared his wisdom to those who were in most need of encouragement. He will surely be missed by those who knew him and who benefitted from his generousity of spirit. He made a difference in the world around him. My prayers are with the family,

Chuck and Mary
Your dad was one of the good guys, I was fortunate to be one of the C&M Family and will always be thankful for the life lessons that I learned from your Dad and Bunzo. I just hope it is reflected in the way I live my life today.
