Dear family of Charlie, I just found out about your loss. I wish I could have showed my respects in person. My late husband Bob started the IW fish fries along with Charlie and a few others. Bob and I were so very fond of Charlie, and saw his good heart right away. I will never forget how he and the IW Knights came to pray over Bobby during his last days. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I’m certain your dear loved one is resting in peace.

We were shocked and saddened when We learned of the passing of Charlie, and very sorry that We learned after it was too late to attend his service. My wife and I knew Charlie from both Four Seasons Country Club where he was a constant and welcome friend, as well as Incarnate Word where we looked forward to his greeting. Charlie was a kind and gentle man that we will deeply miss. Until we see you again my friend.

Charlie and I were Trustees of Four Seasons together for many years. He was diligent and conscientious in that responsibility. I will sorely miss my golf buddy and dear friend.

Aunt Roxanne, Lori, Juli, Vicki and Charlie,
I am so sad that Uncle Asad is gone. Whenever I saw him at a gathering, I knew everything was going to be fine. I know he is in Heaven with all of our other loved ones smiling down on us. Uncle Asad was truly a good man and a great Uncle. I am heart broken that I will not be able to be with all of you during the funeral, but know that I love all of you and am praying for strength your way. God Bless and Lots of Love!

Asad—- the best! It was always a race when we talked on the phone to see who cried first. You won! I love you so! I loved seeing you and dad together, especially the Al Greene’s burger in Indy. I would still be applying for my financial aid in Ann Arbor (‘69) if it wasn’t for you. So many memories. You were us; we were you (Roxanne, too)
