I met Charlie as a freshman at WSU. He was a great leader at Sigma Nu and always had time to talk and give me good advice. Charlie was always a great role model of Sigma Nu's values of Love Truth and Honor. Tell everyone up in heaven for me Charlie "Go Cougs"

Karen, I am grateful for the few years I was blessed to know Charlie. The way he took interest in people's lives and gave of himself to better everyone was a truly admirable quality. I have missed him since he left here in January and grateful for the chance I had to visit with him a few weeks back. May the Lord's peace be upon you and the rest of your family during this time.

A beautiful tribute to a loving and caring man. What a strong man and such a good role model for all he did, all he loved and all he treasured.
