Charlie was a GREAT teacher all the years I worked with him at NCB. He got me interested in taxes, so much do, I took the HR Block course and worked for them.

Warmth and sunshine is what I remember about Mr. Hakaim whenever I visited the Hakaim home when I was much younger or saw him at Ruth and Jess' home. He radiated it just by being present and he had a way of making everyone feel special. May God comfort Ruth and all the family and loved ones and may they find joy and peace in revisiting special moments they shared.

Thoughts and prayers to the family. I never ever saw Charlie without a smile on his face or laughing, especially when he was dancing! He always came to the dances at the Brooklyn Senior Center with his friend Ruthie. RIP Charlie and dance with the angels!
