Dear Peggy, The years have passed so quickly since Charles and I retired from Gage Engineering at Ft. Monmouth. Charles and I worked together for many years side by side, sharing many experiences that are unforgettable. I have a grand father clock in my living room that Charles helped me assemble. It will always remind me of him and the great friendship we shared together. Rest peacefully dear friend. May God comfort and surround your family and loved ones with His peace and love. Jim Perri, Naples, FL
