Dear Rose Marie and family, With our deepest sympathy we offer our condolences. I was out of town when Chuck passed way .We go back to the days of Holy Spirit and just remember Chuck's sense of humor, his smile and dedication to helping out at school. After all those years, running into you at St. Andrew's soccer games was really nice. And through everything, Chuck still had that smile! Your family is in our prayers and may God be at your side through these difficult times.

RoseMarie, I was in Buffalo over the weekend. Aunt Rita and Shirley told me about Chuckie. I am so very, very sorry. The last time I saw you was a few years ago in SteinMart. It was always amazing to run into you and Chuckie whether it was shopping in Lancaster PA, Williamsburg VA, or the Buffalo area. Chuckie was always one of my favorites -- even as a child I recognized what a wonderful person he was. The world is a better place because of him. This must be a difficult time for you and your family, and my sympathy is with you all. May your memories of happier times bring you comfort in the days and months ahead. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I will so miss seeing you and Chuckie together.

Dear Leone Family
It was a pleasure to be around such a wonderful man,. My thoughts are with you at this time. Charlie was always such a caring man who loved life and his family. He loved people and my thoughts run back to the times we walked down Main Street on our lunch hour when we both worked at Merchants and he knew everyone it seemed that passed him on the street. May god bless you all.

Mrs. Leone, Chuck, and Danna -
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Leone. I feel terribly that I just heard last night. I hope you all find comfort in the fact that he is in a better place now.
Until I started bumping into him occassionally at St. Andrews, I had only seen him sparingly since we graduated from Holy Spirit. There was something about him that made seeing him so enjoyable - even if it was just a quick "Hello, Mr. Leone."
I'll be sure to keep your family and Mr Leone in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Rose Marie and Family,

Our hearts are grieving with yours. Charlie and you were a big part of our growing up years as well as our adult lives. There are so many happy memories, occasions and experiences that we shared. We will never forget Charlie's big, beautiful smile, sparkling eyes, and his sweet sense of humor. Time spent with you both was always fun and will be forever treasured.

So sorry we could not be with you at this time, Ro. Just know that we are with you in spirit and will get together when we return.

Much Love, Tony and Marie

I will miss Charlie more than words can express. I have been told that whenever he would see me he would light up with a big smile but the truth is that I was the one who was smiling when I saw him. He will always be in my heart. Love you Aunt Flora

Dear Rose Marie:
It was with sincere sadness that I read of Charlie's passing. I know it has been a long journey for him, as well as his wonderful family. He certainly was far too young to die and you all were cheated - not to grow old together, his children not to have him longer and heaven knows his grandchild not to have what would have been just the greatest "grandpa." And yet, I know everyone that ever had contact with Charlie, even only fleetingly, can be so grateful they knew him.
However, I could not help but smile when I thought of the trips to New York City with Intracorp, the laughter and crazy times with Charllie and Carol Munley. Can you even imagine what heaven is like now with two of the funniest people I will ever know!
My prayers are truly with you all as you go through these most difficult days. May God be with you all.

Dear Rose Marie,

So very sorry to read of Chuck's passing. It must have been a pre-destined act of fate, that I should have stopped at your mom's last August to visit, if only for a brief while, after so many years.
My heartfelt sympathy to all of you, & prayers for God's healing.

Dear Rose Marie & Family,
I had the pleasure of working with Charlie, your dear Husband & Father at Cigna years ago. I know how much he loved you all & we always talked about home life. He was a great family man & also a great friend & supervisor to me for many years. He had the best sense of humor anyone could ask for & I am so happy to be able to call him my friend. I know you will all miss him dearly, but you all have to stay strong & always remember He is now watching over you all, you have a true Angel in you dear Husband & Father. Please be strong & take care of each other during this sad time.
Bless You All,

Dear Rose Marie and Family,

I am so very sorry to learn of Charlie's passing. He was a dear man with a kind heart, a wicked sense of humor and a smile that could make you forget all of your troubles. I have wonderful memories of my "morning coffee buddy" and know that he is now an angel in heaven watching over and protecting your family. He loved you all so much and was so proud of you.
