Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of Charlie's passing, I've known him my entire life from being a kid in Gibby then moving back as an adult and finding him again, he was always a kind, funny gentleman that we will all miss, RIP Charlie .

We send our heart felt condolences to the Crain family. Charlie was a wonderful man and we will miss him dearly. He was an awesome father in law and a fantastic Poppy and Big Poppy. May you each have the light of peace and comfort during this trying time. Love Always, Marnie and John

The Fee family are all so sad to hear of
Charlie passing. His pretty smile we will
miss and all his funny little tid bits
jokes. Chick and Mary have known him
a long time, it will not be the same now.
without him to brighten our day.
We send our regrets to the family.
Love
Chick & Mary Fee

I'm sorry we weren't close sooner but I really came to care about you and Marie. We will miss you and send my love and prayers to Marie and your family.

So sorry to hear this sad news. Charlie was one of those guys that you're lucky if you met him. Back in the early 60's, he drove a milk truck making local deliveries in the Lindenwold area. He delivered to the luncheonette at Stone rd and the Pike. Lindenwold Cab was there. I would go to work their on the weekends and drive around with my step dad in the cab. Charlie would show up in the milk truck and take me with him to help him. I also remember playing pool on his table in his Gibbsboro...

So sorry for family. Charlie was a great guy and we were proud to know him.
