Susan and Lizzy:

I had the great pleasure of working for Charlie for several years during his tenure as Lodge Secretary at the Redwood City Elks Lodge. Smart, extremely kind, unwaveringly fair with a generous spirit, sharp wit, and easy laugh. I'll always remember Charlie as a true wordsmith who's incredibly elegant/eloquent written words and turn of phrase were always a joy to behold. He was a lovely guy who made a beautiful difference to those that knew him. My sincere condolences to his wife Susan and...

Dear Susan,
I send deep-felt sympathy. I knew Charlie when we were children. My parents, Ralph and Peggy Mensch were friends with Art and LaVera whom she called "Tommy." I used to run away to their house.
Love to you all,

As a team mate of Chic's on the '61 Lambert Cup winning team, I can't express my sorrow enough on seeing this news. For that team, Chic was always there for the team. He did his job very well and quietly, usually. I never remember him without a smile on his face. He will be missed by me and those of us who went to the football "wars" with him.
My condolences to all in his family and may he Rest In Peace.
