My heart fills heavy for your loss of a great man. Uncle Charlie was an astonishing father and uncle. I love you guys and think of you often and I will miss Uncle Charlie as sure you will. Since hearing the dreadful news, an abundant of memories has filled my mind. Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.
All my love sincerely,

Charlie was my boss, my mentor and most importantly my friend. His advice and support helped all those who were lucky enough to work with him. Outside the office he was an inspiration. His hands turned many worn and weathered pieces of old furniture into beautiful antiques. Our thoughts and prayers are with Wanda, Lisa, Cindy, Eric and all the members of his family. His memory will live with us always.
