Jan, I am so saddened to hear of Charlie's passing. Your love for each other was so evident and immense. I first worked with you at Warner and then took a class from Charlie at Spring Arbor University. What a wonderful teacher he was. Kind and a "true teacher", very much like yourself.

Charlie was loved by everyone who knew him. A true academic and scholar, he was also kind and interested in people and in experiencing life to its fullest. He and Jan were truly made for each other--fun-loving, congenial, and perfect hosts, always ready to share a good time with friends. He will be missed.
