My husband & I had the pleasure of meeting Charlie Jr. (and Mary Williams), when they moved next door to us. (early 2000s). Sitting in the garage, running into him at the corner store, going over to the house, he always had the same kind character. He will truly be missed. May our Lord comfort you and your loved ones. God Bless!
