My deepest sympathy to Pat & Charlie's Boys. He was a wonderful person and I will miss talking to him every June 1 and November 2.
Charlie was a special kind of friend to all that know him and we can never replace his friendship.

A great man who will be missed dearly. Mr. Ridgway was so kind and had a wonderful spirit. May that carry on through his sons and grandchildren! I was fortunate to know him, my deepest sympathies.

Charley was a great servant of the game of golf with his countless days spent supporting the Washington Metropolitan Golf Association and Junior Golf. He was always great to be around.
