Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families in the passing of Charlie. My first memory of Charlie was when he picked Georgene up on his motorcycle at our Wambolt grandparents home in Loveland. God Bless you all and give you peace knowing he is in good hands now.

Out of all my cousins, Charles reminded me of my father, his uncle, in looks. We had just seen him last year in Estes Park & we are glad we got to see him then.
