Charlie was a great friend and Shell Oil coworker. He and Hazel were a great fun-loving couple with whom we had some wonderful times. We miss them both.

We knew Charlie through my sister and brother-in-law. He was a kind, gentle and loving soul. He had a wonderful smile and laugh. We will miss him very much. Our sympathies to the many friends who were lucky enough to be a part of his life. Sharon and John West
