Jane, Charles was in so many ways my mentor, with the loss of him and my Karen, life does not seem fair. Regardless, best to have known and loved them. We are blessed for that.

I feel privileged that I was your neighbor for many years in Beaverton. I have wonderful memories of being in your lovely home,...

We, at the Insulinde Club, have lost a friend, our music man, our piano player, our radio man, and a great story teller with the passing of Charles. We will miss him.
You, his family, he adored. He always said that his children were "hemels geluk, heerlijke kinderen". I and the members of Insulinde are saddened by his sudden passing. Please accept our condolences.You will be in our prayers. Connie Johnson
