Uncle Charlie was special in my life and I am thankful for all the times we shared throughout the years. I am thankful that my daughter Laura and her kids got to know Uncle Charlie in Estes Park Colorado when he was there visiting. I know he is in a better place and free from pain. The last of my dad's generation- he will be sorely missed.
