To my Aunt Louise, cousins Anne, Beth, and Turner, please know the heartfelt sympathy our family shares with you. Though it's been years since I have seen Uncle Charlie, the memories, his laugh, and most of all his stories will remain with me a lifetime. I will miss my favorite dentist!

I use to go to Dr. Fabian, and his Father and my Father were room mates at Bamberg Military Academy in Bamberg. Sorry to read of his loss, my prayers go out to his family.
