Our heartfelt condolences to all, Charlie worked together with my stepdad, Steve Fasciani (who just passed in June) for many years at Green Haven. As an adolescent I shared many mornings "on the hunt" or in the row boat fishing with them both. I will always remember Charley's smile & humble personality. I also fondly remember when he & Charlie Jr. came to my parents cabin at Schroon lake to snag that trophy bass. On behalf of the Fasciani and Johnson Family we offer our prayers. RIP Charlie.

I am deeply saddened, but sincerely honored to have known Mr. Barola. He had always had a smile that would light up the room and I will always remember him for that and his kind personality. When I worked at Hopewell Auto Parts, it was always a pleasure to see Charlie, he was always welcome. He and Dominick would always share laughs. RIP Mr. Barola

I am saddened to hear of Mr. Barola's passing. As the father of a close childhood friend and neighbor, he had a great influence on me as a youngster. I have many childhood memories involving Mr. Barola! I am grateful for the impact he has had on my life.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Barola family during this difficult time.

I'm sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. He was a long time customer at Brady's Power Equipment and would bring us his fresh and really hot salsa that he made from his garden. He always had a smile that brightened the day.
