I still remember Charlie with all the unfiltered fondness and friendliness I was fortunate to experience and share with him for the several years that I knew him. Maybe it had to do with us both being Leos, but Charlie also had his special touch, along with a special smile and hearty laugh. It's hard to know it's already been 15 years but one can never forget the time during which we knew each other. It's a memory worth keeping!

I just wish to express my deepest sympathy to the family. We may not be close but I love you all. I remember as kids when we would all get together at Grandmothers and Grandfathers we always had a good time. Now that we all have families of our own it really seems so long ago.
Love to everyone. I am going to visit my Dad for a week starting Tuesday. To be with him for his 81st birthday.
