God bless Charlie! A friend to all. Had many good (and bad) conversations on the NY Giants. Loved hearing his stories of hanging out with Sam Huff, Andy Robustelli and Frank Gifford at the old Surfside. Charlie was great with the kids as well. Jumping in a game of running bases or a touch football game after watching the Giants on a fall Sunday afternoon on Catherine Terrace. May you rest in peace, Charlie.

Chris and girls, take comfort in knowing all the good he did for the community and its people. He was a true gentleman and friend.

Mrs. Filep, Chris and Ruth, May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. May all those memories give you peace and comfort. With love and peace, Gail
