We were so very sad to hear of Charlie's passing. He was a wonderful mentor, and gave us many "words of wisdom" when we first started out in the public insurance adjusting business 30+ years ago. He was well respected and greatly admired for his knowledge and strong presence in the industry. His shoes are tough ones to fill! Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. Charlie will be greatly missed! We are blessed to have known him. John Malloy and Lucy Chester, Associated Public Adjusters.
