Martha, Deb, Melissa & family. Our hearts are broken for you. Charlie was like a father to Steve & I, and a grandfather to Ryan & Shannon. He had the biggest heart & was always there for us. We were so young when we moved to Mt. Top & he watched out for us, helped us in every way he could. You all were family to us. We will always remember Charlie and the kindness he showed us. Sending prayers
