Saying goodbye to a wonderful man who will always be remembered for the smile on his face, the twinkle in his eye, and the open arms ready for a hug. He always made us feel like part of the family, and truly, family means those you love. We loved you, Charlie, and we'll miss your smiling face.

Uncle Charlie was a rare find in today's world -- a good man, loving and honest. So many childhood memories of him, my Aunt Norma and the days of innocence shared with my cousins. God Bless Charlie and all of those who loved him...
