Dear Chris and family,
Charlie was a great friend, fellow remodeler, very knowledgeable in building materials and a great person to work with. I know "Ace is the place of the helpful Hardware man" originated because of people like Charlie, someone who was so dedicated and helpful to everyone. He always had a smile on his face and a positive attitude. Charlie was the guy everyone went to for help and he enjoyed sharing his great knowledge. He knew everything about anything, even computer issues. He helped make MBS a place where we would help all our customers. Charlie cared about everyone. Thanks Charlie. He will be truly missed. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

My brother-in-law lit up whatever room he was in. Maybe it was his "dimple" but probably it was his positive attitude. His hands created functional works of art, beautifully made. Charlie's love of his wife, children, grandkids, and family made him a joy to be around at holidays! I'll miss him forever....
