I remember Charlie as so fun loving and always had a smile on his face. He always loved to entertain his younger cousins and everyone had lots of FUN when Charlie was around. Thanks for helping Uncle Chuck push the swing!

It was always a pleasure to see Charlie when he came into the office at Pipeline. Even though I only knew him for a short time, I can understand how much he will be missed. My prayers are with you.

Charlie was a wonderful man. I worked with him for several years on a couple of elevator jobs. He always made me laugh and tried to look on the bright side even as he became ill.

I worked with Charlie for 6 years at Lay Z Boy and have know him for 12 years. He always had the neatest, cleanest desk--not a speck of dust, not a pen out of place. (I know Heaven will be a much more orderly place with him). He was jolly and we had much fun together. My sympathy to you and your family. Sherrie, take care of yourself.

Sherrie, Our hearts go out to you and your entire family in your time of grief. Charlie was an amazing man who could lighten up a room with his presence while whistling or just being his fun self. I enjoyed working with him for many years and we used to say we thought we could have been long lost brother and sister from Buffalo, because we were so similar at times. I loved him dearly as a friend and will miss him more than I can say. Bless your family

We are thinking of you today as you celebrate Charlie's life. You will remain in our thoughts and prayers.
