He will be missed on this earth, but for those of us who are believers in Jesus Christ, this is not a farewell for we shall all be together again soon!

Friends with Charlie and Tim in HS. Seen him off and on for years. He was a pretty good egg. I remember he did some work for me at my house. Real friendly and did a great job. We spent some time talking.
Peace be with you Charlie.
