Charlie was a terrific worker and friend of mine at Valley School Supply for years. Many times I arrived at work first and Charlie would see me shoveling deep snow.. he'd just shake his head and go to get the payloader. Tools, equipment, improvisation, doing it right- Charlie was a teacher. I'm passing on what you taught me Charlie...

Charlie was a great man. I am so sad for us and happy for him, because I know he lives with God without a doubt. I have never met a more humble and loving man. He always tried to build people up and would never accept a compliment. I worked with him at Valley School Supply and was so happy when the training room was named after him. I loved him very much and am so sorry for your loss.

Jandourek family I am saddened by your loss. I have fond memories of going to seeing Charlie at the shop when my dad would take me with him, and I also have some great memories of spending many hours in the woods hunting squirrels with Chip. Something triggered some memories in me just last week about the times Chip and I spent weekends at our tree farm when we were kids, and all the fun we had going out with our pellet guns looking for game.
