Charles J. Bonavita

I was just talking about you yesterday as I was sharing a meal with a friend. I wish you were here so I could spend some time with you. We always had fun gardening and eating together. You made the best chili and stuffed mushrooms. I miss you.

I think of you often and miss you. You were and continue to be an inspiration of mine. How I´d love the opportunity to sit down and have one more Big Mac with you.

First memory was when Charles showed up at our high school to an introductory rowing meeting. I thought he seemed a bit quirky but I was drawn to his confidence and the excitement he had for the sport. Little did I know that was the beginning of a life path

Just thinking of you today. I do miss you.

Thinking of you on your birthday and wishing you were here to chat and work in the garden with me. Every time we were together I always learned something new from you. You were always such good company. I miss you.

Hard to imagine that you’ve been gone for five years. You and Bridget hat such a profound influence on my life. You taught me about rowing and nearly 35 years later I’m still involved. Hard to imagine where I’d be had I not met you. Think about you both everyday.

Charles another year has past since you went home to our Lord .I think of you often and miss you For you have a very special place in my heart ....

Charles, you were such a good friend. I still miss the times we spent together. You had such a tender heart.
