I loved talking to Charlie about teaching and about life. He picked you as his life partner, so we know he was a very wise man. He loved you so deeply and enjoyed being with you and taking you places. Truly a great guy.

Needless to say Charlie was a stand up man. If there were more Charlie Becker's in this world would have had peace years ago. My sincere condolences for your loss

Wow! What a great man and friend for so many you have been Charlie. How many times did you give an uplifting comment when someone needed a boost up?

Katy and Family,
We were so sad to hear about Charlie's passing. Have many fond memories of time spent together with you and Charlie when we were in Lawrence and our kids were young. And of course running with that wild and crazy tennis group. Charlie was a great sport and we will miss him, and the good old days. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and the family especially on the 18th in dear old Trinity church.
