My deepest, deepest sympathy to all of his family and friends. Words really cannot express a loss anyway. He was one of the most favorite persons I have ever known. As a good friend of the family, I met Charlie (Mr. Morton) when I was a around the age of 13. He made a lasting impression on me. He epitomized the meaning of "Father" and was an all-around-great guy. Again, my condolences, thoughts and prayers go to Nancy and all the kids. Thinking of you...

Eternal rest grant onto him O Lord. And may Your perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. With deepest sympathy to Nancy and family. And Charlie, we will miss your emails.

In the relatively short time I have known Charlie, I came to admire him very much. He was a good man who loved his wife and family; was proud of his military service; and in his own way had a very deep and abiding faith in a loving and merciful God. May he rest in eternal peace in the company of the saints and angels in heaven. And may God comfort, Nancy, their children and grandchildren and all the Morton family.
