Read MoreCharles (Richard) was about 5 or 6 years old when we first met. He was the ring bearer when his sister and I were married. An intelligent young man, he grew up to be the most generous and thoughtful man I ever knew. There was nothing he wouldnt do for his family, his friends and his community. He was loved by all. We all miss him.
