Dear Chuck,Sharon, Laurie and John:
I'm sorry that I learned about your fathers passing, my uncle, long after it happened. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I also have very fond memories of Uncle Charlie. He was a great conversationalist. He had such a great sense of humor. He knew more about the Boston Police Dept. and the city of Boston as a whole, that I thought one day if he ran for mayor he could probably get his name on the ballot. In my book, he was very popular. He was truly a genuine man and will be missed.

PSALM 23:4 "Yea,though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."
