My wife and I met Charlie when he leased our oil rights in Isaballa County. In our dealings with Charlie, he was always a gentleman. We enjoyed our conversations with him. He was a memorable character and we wish the best for his family.

I met Charlie during my time at CMU, working at Ric's Food Center. He was by far one of my favorite customers in Mt. Pleasant who has touched my heart. Prayers to all the family.

I'm sure Charlie Anthony (my deceased husband) was waiting for him at the pearly gates. They enjoyed trips and events while they could and spent many days at Big Boy coffees. My condolences to the family.

Charlie was a very special man. I had the opportunity of knowing him through his many years of visiting Jay's Sporting Goods. He was more than a customer he was my friend. He reminded me of my Grandfather who passed many years ago. I will always cherish all the hugs and special words from Charlie. I will miss him dearly! RIP Charlie!

I met Charlie when I worked at Mission Street Amoco in the mid-90's. He always had a smile on his face, the end of a cigar in his mouth, & a funny joke for me. He was a stitch & I will never forget him. Peace to the Moskowitz family.
