Condolences to your family for the sad loss of Charlie.
Your interview was compelling ,your fight , mammoth, your devastation unspeakable.Sharing similar experience,my husband of 48 years lost his battle with a glioma also but we fought for 2.3 years.Only finding out of DrBurzynski too late, but many of your challenges were also mine. I will publicise any media to have him freed from condemnation.Money speaks,they have so much to loose .
RIP Charlie.

The one thing everyone will remeber is that smile. You always seemed to shine and smile no matter the situation. I reviewed all the Caringbridge photos last night. Even though you were fighting for your life you were still able to smile. So long Charlie you will be missed.

Charlie's intelligence exceeded most persons' education and his sense of humor and turn of phrase entertained all of us fortunate enough to be included in his circle of friends. He was a more than competent, generous, warm human being.
