Marilyn and Family
Just heard the tragic news. Reading the tributes, it came as no surprise to learn Charlie became the kind of caring person he was. His grandparents Nash were close personal friends of my parents and Pat and I became lifelong Spalding buddies, from the early fifties on. I know big, loving hearts run in the Nash family. And you, Marilyn I will always remember for your tender, loving care of my irreplaceable buddy, Steve. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To Charlie's family I knew Charlie from the Ace shop and every time I went there it was always nice to see him. He had the greatest intelligence on human emotion. He knew how to take care of you. It breaks my heart to know that even our earth angels have to succumb to such an early death. I never would've expected his death to hurt my heart in the way it did since I had rarely seen him. There are just a handful of people in this world of his nature towards others. I hope Charlie can look down on us from heaven and give us the strength to never take people for granted as we all do everyday. Rest in peace Charlie and hope that one day God will let us meet again.

I will miss seeing Charlie at Oak Street Ace. He was always so pleasant, relaxed and helpful. He always made me smile when he would tell me "no worries". I will always remember for him that. My sincere condolences to The Nash Family and to the Oak Street Ace Family.

Charlie, you will be greatly missed. I only knew you from Ace Hardware and you were always so friendly and helpful, and cheerful. I am very grateful for having you grace my life with your presence.

Mr Charles, "My Brother" I will miss our weekly talks, advice, and
chuckles! You always brought a smile to my face. You were my port in the
storm. You will never be forgotten as you are a part of me, till we meet
again. Your heart was as big as your fathers! Maybe now, Pat will show
you how to catch "Walter"
God Bless You . Uncle David Lindberg
