I will miss Charlie. He was such a sweet person, and a loyal friend to my parents. I will miss his smile and sense of humor most of all. He and my Dad joked with each other all of the time. He will be missed.

I'm going to miss Charlie so much. Charlie & Virginia were wonderful people and great friends to my grandparents and family. He's been a long time friend of the family even before I was born and my mom said I used to dance with him...on his feet...of course I was a lot younger then. We will always cherish those wonderful memories and look forward to seeing him again one day in heaven.

Charlie and Virginia were neighbors of ours and friends with my parents, and they loved to go dancing together. He was a nice man with a great sense of humor and will be missed by many.
