Charlie was one of the most delightful, decent, and fun gentleman I was blessed to know. I first met him when he arrived to volunteer at the San Mateo County Suicide Prevention Center, where I served as the Executive Director. I then came to know him as a kind, wise, and cherished friend. He touched the lives of many people and we were all enriched for knowing him.
My sincere condolences to his family.
