I knew Charles from our days in St. Mary's High School In Wilkes-Barre. I was in the class behind his class; my husband, John "Hank" Hanlon, graduated with him. Charlie was a fine young man, musically inclined even in those early day. May God send comfort to his family in their sorrow. God bless you all.
