I've known Charlie since I taught him to be a school bus driver & some times scare the daylights out of him. I was a scorekeeper while he umpired. We had so many good times together. So many good memories...I'll miss you

While growing up, I spent many a day in his home and never felt unwelcome. I'm sorry for your loss.
