To the family,
I am saddened to hear that Charlie passed away. I always enjoyed talking with Charlie. I worked with him at GE Fanuc. Charlie always seemed to have exactly the right answer when you had a difficult question.
I will remember him and I will miss him.
Best wishes

I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your Father and Grandfather to Andrew and Grace. I had the chance to talk with him at Uncle Robert and Nancy's gathering. He was such an interesting and engaging person. I know you will all miss him very much. Our prayers and thoughts are with you, your Mother and your family.

Barbara:
We have so many fond memories of times spent with you and Charles. We had many things in common, we were about the same age, we were married in the same year, we each had two sons, and we were brothers and sisters in Christ. You have our heartfelt sympathy and you will be in our prayers.
