Charles Scher Obituary
Charles Scher, 53, of suburban Boca Raton, who was in the water for up to 30 minutes, died after being taken to West Boca Medical Center in cardiac arrest, Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue Capt. Don DeLucia said.
Scher had been diagnosed with brain cancer several months ago and was returning from a session with a physical therapist, said Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Lt. Michael Reardon.

OMGoodness! I'm so shocked to hear about Charlie. May God be with you, Pat, and all your kids and grandkids in your sorrow. We used to have so much fun bowling w/you and Charlie 30 years ago and dancing at the banquets. He helped Walter's and my business get started -- couldn't have done it without his expertise ... and did my taxes for years afterwards. He was always so cheerful and happy. He will be missed. God Bless you all.

I got to know Charles since 2005. What a fine gentleman. He had this amazing Charisma that filled with positive aura everywhere he went. I personally compare him to the sun that gives light to others, guide them at every step. I remember Charles as a person who was always willing to help others, listen to others and act upon it immedialtely. He was one positive and inspiring person that I have come accross my life. He has left a special place in everyone's heart. Our deepest condelences and prayers go out to the Scher family.
Charles you will be missed!!!

I am a current employee of Charles' company. I would like to extend my condolences to his family, friends, partner and co-workers. Since I have worked for Charles, I have to say that not only was he one of the best bosses I've ever had but he was one of the finest individuals I have ever met. During the time that I have known him, he was always positive, optimistic, kind, caring and sincerely interested that I put my important priorities in life before my job with his company. One of the things that he taught me, by example, was how to have a positive attitude during times of extreme difficulties. My prayers go out to his family, friends, his partner, co-workers and all the people that Charles made a positive impact on their lives.
