Uncle Charlie is someone we will always remember, and we will miss him immensely. Being with him and Aunt Bootsie was always like being at home with the people you loved most. They opened their home and their arms to everyone. We spent many Thanksgivings there eating way too much, playing football in the school yard, and watching TV. Uncle Charlie would always show us his latest woodworking piece and tell us about how much his garden had produced that year. We miss him already!!! Mike and Phyllis
