Dear Nancy and little Charlie,

Your husband and dad were going to do fix my electrical system and when we talked about the details, guess what we talked about? YOU!! Charlie lit up when he talked about his family and he told me how important you are to him--and how much it meant to be the father of this amazing little boy. I am so sad about this terrible loss--Yet I feel so lucky to have known Charlie (thanks to Sean Kelly) and to have known how much Charlie loved you! I send you my deepest condolences. Ann Weiss

Charlie was a true friend and a rock of the Irish Community. I knew him as a young immigrant as well as an extremely successfuly business man. However, his finest moments could be seen in his love and devotion to his family. We are all human, but, Charlie, we are all the better for having the privilege of knowing you, we are all lessened by your untimely passing. Rest in Peace, friend
