I was an Industrial Engineer at Crompton from 1974 until 1981 and had frequent contact with Charlie. He was always cooperative and helpful and I always enjoyed my times with him.
When Crompton closed I had to relocate to find employment and over the years thought of him many times. His honesty and thoughtfulness for others stayed with me - they just didn't come any better.
May God be with you at this time.
