Amos and I are so sorry, about Charlie's passing. He was a staple, at the church, and I'm sure, will be missed for many years to come. Never came to the picnic, without him coming around, with a big smile, and talking to us. we sure did like him. Earth's loss, is Heaven's Gain. R.I.P. Charlie.

I was so sorry to read about Charlie's death. He was truly one of the sweetest, most giving men I've had the pleasure to know. I got to know Charlie when I worked with him at Grimmer Schmidt and loved listening to him talk about his family.
