Charlie was one of my best friends in high school. We lost track after graduation and I was shocked and saddened to learn of his passing while "googling" his name in hopes of renewing that past friendship.

My thoughts and prayers go to his friends and family during this time.

Sure will miss him!

How we wish we could be there Saturday, but we will be in Tennessee for a job related trip. I have been in touch with a part of your family to let you know how much we loved Dr. Conley. He was the best. Prayers for comfort and peace in the coming days.
