Dear Ashton family:
Please accept my sincerest condolences. I conducted business with Charlie in the 80's and 90's and was always satisfied in his fairness. I am sure he will be missed by the community.

Ashton Family,
We are sorry for the loss of Charlie. We lived in Conimicut for 13
years where we bought our first house on the corner of Bellman Avenue and Francis Street. We bought a dining room set which we still have from Charlie. Over the years he also repaired our furniture. we certainly enjoyed visiting him at Golden Era Antiques listening to how proud he was of his family and getting advice about antiques. He was always good to my sons when we visited the shop. He certainly made Conimicut a great place to live. His presence in the community will be missed. When I went back to visit our old neighborhood I enjoyed visiting him. The dining room set is still in our home in Wakefield . We have had it for over 22 years even with two active boys using it.
God bless you Charlie.
The Dubuque Family
