Fr. Charles Bisgrove

Dear Father Charlie(FC),

I can't believe that I am writing a farewell to you, I'm still waiting to wake up. You have been a dear friend over the years and I have enjoyed the time that we spent together. I feel priveleged to have known you and want to thank you for everything you have done for my family. I also want to thank you for everything that you have contributed to this world as one of God's soldiers. You have truly made this crazy world a better place. In addition to being...

It is with a sad heart that I am writing this, that my friend Father Charlie passed away. I will miss our talks, your warm smile, and always kind words.
I have known Father Charlie for over 20 years, what started as a client an became a friend. For all that knew both of us, we had a private joke that continue for years, when ever he would enter my gallery, I would always greet him with a "Hey Father", which he would respond with the like.

I first met Fr Charlie, or "Charles in Charge" as I affectionately called him, while standing up in a friends wedding in Fr Charlies parish in 1996. The wedding party contained some wild looking guys, and Fr Charlie made sure to remind us several times during the rehearsal that the Church was a place for worship and celebration, not "funny stuff" as he called it.

Father Charlie was a great guy who continually gave of himself for others and was dedicated to everything he did. He was an extremely kind person who was always trying to help his fellow persons.

This is a very sad, sad day for all of us here on earth who knew, loved, and thought so much of Father...

Thanks for your help through the tough times Father Charlie. You were one of the best! God bless and God speed!

So long Father Charlie..we will meet and laugh again. You gave me so much and took back nothing. I am forever grateful and you will be greatly missed. God bless and keep you.
