My husband & I enjoyed so many times listening to Charlie's music. I'm sure he's playing in heaven, sincerely Jean Moorhouse

Alma, so sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. He was such a special person and I valued all of his time that he committed to our jazz band program at Pinebrook and Arcadia. He had a real zest for life and a true passion for music. He loved his family and sharing the accomplishments of his grandkids. I know these past few years have been difficult and now he can share his music in heaven.
Love to you and your family. God bless,
Sue Schneider
