Not sure what to say?

Thankful for the years we could be neighbors. Shared many breakfasts and hearing the stories of amazing Charlie's experiences. Really miss being with him. He was available to give us whatever information we needed.

Rest in peace "Mr. Beezer", and thank you for your patience in dealing with all of us neighborhood children as we grew up pestering you. You always drove the coolest cars.. always the newest Corvettes back in the day. Thanks also for being a best friend to my dad, and after his passing, to my mom as well. My sincere condolences to you both, Mark and Cherie.

We are so sorry to hear of his passing. Our deepest sympathy to his family.

The Leeser’s were our first fiends when we moved to Chesterfield Missouri. Cheerie and my sister became best friends. Mr. & Mrs. Leeser took time to talk to kids when we dropped by. Mr. Leeser even to us on rides in each new Corvette Stingray he drove.
Cheerie and Grady are close friends and my wife and I love seeing them now that they live nearby in Plano, TX. Deepest condolences to Cheerie and her extended family.

Charlie and Zoe

Charlie was a fine man and an ideal neighbor. He and my dad were very good friends, and they often worked on home projects together as original residents of Westbury Manor. Charlie and Virginia provided the perfect home for my unhappy Abyssinian, Zoe, who desperately wanted to be an only cat. He gave her loving care, and she adored him for it. I am forever in your debt, Charlie, for becoming Zoe's favorite person. May you rest in peace.

Cherie & Mark, this is a beautiful sentiment about your dad & showed what a very special man he was. I can personally attest to him being a wonderful father to you, Cherie. I will always remember him teaching me to drive the stick shift in the Corvette. Little did I realize at the time that it was because in an emergency & you weren't able to drive, that I would be capable to. That's a very special father.

Cherie and Chris, I never had the pleasure of meeting your father and grandfather, but I feel assured that if he had a hand in raising both of you, he must have been a very special man. I was surprised to see he graduated from Beaumont. My mom did, too. She was three years younger. That means our lives may have crossed for three generations (four counting the littles). May your memories of Charles flourish as he is welcomed home.

So very sorry for the loss of your father Cherie. Prayers for you and your family.
