Not sure what to say?

Shari and family. I was just thinking of Charlie today not realizing it was the anniversary of his death . He was a good friend to me. I miss him. He left a wonderful legacy in his family. My prayers are with you all. Gone to soon. Rest In Peace Charlie.

Miss you Charlie, think of you often.

Shari,
May.all your good memories comfort you and yours at this time and in the future.
My condolences on what sounds like quite a person.

So very sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. He worked closely with my late husband, Paul Keough, of the EPA. Paul admired Charlie for his intelligence, steadfastness and most of all, his winning personality. I had the pleasure of meeting Charlie several times, and he was always gracious and warm - a real gentleman. Please accept my condolences.

My deepest condolences to the Button family for your great loss. If anyone ever had the right to be full of himself, it was Charlie. But he never was and that is what made him so special. I will always remember him as being a great guy, levelheaded, and always ready to tell a joke or tip one back. He certainly made the best of life's journey. He will be sorely missed.

Many an afternoon Charlie and could be found sitting at my family's kitchen table with our Latin or physics books open to the homework lesson. Charlie got me through physics, in fact he was always my lab partner. He was so patient, an excellent teacher.
On a Friday afternoon, if our class was having a dance, we would decorate the gym, along with many of our classmates. I so clearly remember one afternoon he used an electrical wire to balance while perched on the top of an extended ladder....

My condolences to the Button Family. Mr Button will never be forgotten. I knew his signature years before having the opportunity to work with him. I will always remember his voice and his smile.

To Shari and all the Button Family, I am so sorry for the loss of Charlie, he was an extraordinary man. I have such warm memories of him. He was such a giving and dedicated person. I remember him educating me about sidewalk and street excavation when I was on the City Council and our trips to various street sites to show me first hand examples. He was truly dedicated to his work on behalf of the public and was a loving caring family man and friend. I am grateful for his friendship and...

Shari,
You and yours are in my thoughts & prayers XXOOXX
