My deepest condolences to all of you. I will forever miss Charlie and his awesome stories and how he was always freezing during the hot summers here in Canada. I am forever greatful for being able to know Charlie. May he rest in peace with Gladys and some Johnny Walker.

We had the pleasure of being friends with Charlie and his dear wife Gladys for many years. Charlie was a very good cook as well as a story teller.
