Obituary

Charles, our beloved passed on April 9, 2020 after 83 years of a life well lived… An Army Veteran and retired New York City Police Officer, Charles impacted countless lives. First and foremost a family man, he loved spending time with us, especially during summer vacations in Cape May. A patriot and history buff, crossword puzzle enthusiast and avid reader, he was tough but loving, had a great sense of humor and never gave bad advice… He passed knowing he was loved, after a two-week battle with COVID under the warm care of dedicated nurses and doctors.
