Charter was a wonderful person. He was a unique individual and although I only met him one time, the impact of the visit will always be a fond memory. He baked bread that smelled and tasted so wonderful and invited my Mom and I in Dotty and his home. He shared wonderful stories with us. His sharing and caring and genuine nature is an example of how more of the world should be. Anyone who was lucky enough to know or meet him knows the special energy he gave on earth. G-d bless all those who will miss him and may you heal in his memories. Ann Goodman
