Charlie, you were the greatest brother in law we could have had. We were always welcome in your home, as were our children when they went to Calvin. A time we got together, you were the life of the party. You were a great support for Sharon and a great father and enthusiastic grandfather. We know we will be reunited with you because of Christ our Lord. God is in Control.
