Dorothy and family,
Thinking of Charlie makes me smile. I had the good fortune to work with him and to get to know you during his time at in the Trust Department of the Bank of A. Levy. Charlie was a mentor, a respected colleague, a man of wit and character, and a real pleasure to spend time with. Happily, he was at the Levy reunion this past year; I'm so pleased to have reconnected after too many years. I'm sorry for your loss; my best and strongest thoughts are with you all.

My Dearest Aunt Dorothy, Beautiful Missy, Strong Shelly and ever the Survivor Scott,
I will miss Uncle Jerry so very much. He was the proverbial patriarch of the Carmack(Eads) family. We will always be "Double Cousins", those who know us well understand this term. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you always. Lots of Love, April

To all the family, I am so sorry I couldn't be there for the services. Uncle Jerry was such a staple in my life. I am very sad he is gone. He was a terrific person. I will never forget him and all of his wisdom. Aunt Dorothy, your marriage has always been an inspiration to me. I hope that you find strength in this time and always know he's still with you.

Dorothy, Missy, Shelley and Scott,
We are sincerely saddened by your loss of a husband, father and good man through and through. Although we haven't seen you all much through the years we do think of you and have enjoyed a number of family get togethers and occasions with you. As with the loss of our parents, it is very sad and painful but that will eventually dim and your thoughts will be filled with the positive fun things. Jerry will always be in all our hearts. Take care and hugs to you.

My memories of Charlie extend back to the mid-80s when he was a key member of Bank of A. Levy management. I was introduced to him by my former associate with The Equitable and we worked together on a rather touchy issue regarding the beneficiary arrangement on a life insurance policy. We talked, we solved.
Later, he came forward to congratulate me on my joining Sacred Heart Church --I hadn't seen that he was present at the ceremony before then. That was special to me.
We then would always chat following Mass and, later, his surgery. A real gentleman in every way.
God speed and strength to his family in this difficult time.

My name is Gene Mappin. I served with Charlie while with HAL-5, Helicopter Attack Squadron in the 70-80's. I speak for the Squadron when I extend our deepest sympathies to the entire Family. He was part of our Military Family and he will be sadly missed by his brothers in arms. I have e-mailed all of his former shipmates advising them of his passing.
