To Charlie's family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I was very fortunate to have worked with Charlie at the phone company and he was always a joy to work for. His smile and friendly ways made it a pleasure to go to work every day. He will definitely be missed by all who knew him.

Donna, Joel, David and Steven,

I can't begin to tell you how sorry I was to hear that "Dad" was gone. He was such a big part of my childhood/adolescence, and I will truly miss him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Bond Family,
Paul, the kids and I send our thoughts and prayers for you and your family. Charlie was the best neighbor anyone could ask for! We adored him! I will remember our time spent the day we moved to Vermont in July. Paul was already in VT and Charlie came over to give me moral support. He looked great and was so positive. He is an inspiration to me (Ginny) and I thank him for being so kind to our family. As we are in Vermont now please keep in mind that he will not be forgotten. God bless Charlie, your Mom, you and your family. Always, Ginny, Paul, Sebastian and Ava Fink-Siebers. (Formerly of 7809 Boxwood Court).

To the Bond Family,

Charlie was a very special person to me during my years at the "phone company". He was a great boss, a mentor and a friend who I will always remember.

Charlie always made it apparent that he loved his family so much. While I never had the opportunity to meet you children, I feel like I know you through the stories your father shared.

May God bless and watch over you during this time.

Dear Family, Our hearts are saddened over the news of Charlie. Charlie was an exceptional man, but most importantly, a man of God. Just the other day I had thoughts of Charlie and was wondering how he was doing. Now I know why I was thinking of him. Our lives are certainly brighter having know this fine man. One of the many blessings we will receive will be that Charlie is with his wife, Carolyn. What a blessing that is! They are now rejoicing in heaven, having received this fine man. With heartfelt sypmathy, Chris and Vicky White, former members of Greenwood UMC.

To Charlie's family,

Those of us who were lucky enough in life to know Charlie, were blessed. I am thankful that I was one of those people. I can still see his smiling face as he walked through the C&P/Bell Atlantic/Verizon offices, never failing to say "Hi" to all of us.

His love and care of his family was inspirational and his own love for having a good time, making people laugh and caring was evident throughout his life.

May the wonderful memories that you have of him live forever in your heart and may the Lord comfort you throughout.
