Dear Jeanne and Family,
We were so very saddened to hear of Charles' death. I have fond memories of visits with Uncle Chic, Aunt Hilda, Charles and Kenneth when we were growing up. Cousins like them were always the best kids to play with.
Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Jeanne and family,
As I had just heard of Charlie's passing on Saturday, I wanted to extend my deepest sympathies and condolences to the entire family. I have fond memories of the family reunion and knew of Charlie's love of family and compassion for all people that were fortunate enough to have made his aquaintance. I will remember him and the entire family in my prayers.

Dear family,
When Charles visited Basel, he could not be ignored.
When he spotted a problem, he found a solution.
When he made things happen, he was an efficient professional.
When he spoke with associates, he was a caring human being.
When he made a statement, it was clear and genuine.
When he knew about his illness, he had the grandeur to accept it.
When he passed away, tears filled many eyes.
Now that he is not with us anymore; we still have a gentle friend.
Christine Sustreanu and Ernst Rosenberger, Basel (Switzerland)

With deepest sympathy at the loss of your loving husband, father, and grandfather. I worked with Charlie at my first job (GCT) and have never met a more caring, devoted, moral, ethical, family man who loved the Lord. As my "buddy" on a company outing, he taught me more about business, life, and trust than I learned in the 10 years following. I guess the Lord just needed a "right hand man" and came for the best one. He will truly be missed.

We have all lost so much with Charlie's passing but we have also gained so much in knowing him. His friendship means the world to me and my family and there is deep saddness wounding our hearts now. Charlie was a leader and he has just taught us how to part this life. Once again, he serves as a mentor to us all. When my time comes, I will try to follow his lessons and strive to be the man he was. It's an impossible task because he was truly one of a kind. Charlie once told me, during his illness, how lucky he was. He said, "I'm a lucky man. I know how I am going to pass on, I just don't know when. Most people never know but I do. God must have a special plan for me to take me now. I am not afraid". He told me that during a beautiful, cold winter evening while shoveling snow. An astonishing moment as his faith carried him through this ordeal. Good-bye old friend and someday, we'll meet again. Not a day will pass without me thinking of you.
Your friend,
Mike Kallelis

We are very sorry for your loss. Charlie was a caring mentor, an emotional and dedicated leader, and a highly ethical friend. I worked under Charlie during some of the best years of my life at Grand Circle Travel where he frequently called me out as the "KyMan" and the "Man with the million dollar smile." Anita and I both recall hours of meaningful discussions with charlie in his office over leadership, life, and all kinds of topics. Anita would also like to mention how wonderful her experience was with Charlie on the Egypt fam. We send our love and sympathy. Charlie will be greatly missed.
