Not sure what to say?

Charlie: It seems like I have been searching for you for 25 years as we lost contact when we stopped living together on the farm outside Auburn. After searching for your location intermittently much of my adult life, I now find that you passed away in 2010. You were a great roommate and a wonderful friend! I most remember us consoling each other when lost our other friend and roommate, Bob Edwards, as he was killed in an MVA while driving home to New York during spring break. Life certainly...

What a dear friend you were. Peace, love, and serenity--always.

Charlie was everybody's hero when I was growing up. And not just because the Hills were the best looking family to ever hang around Vestavia Country Club. It's because every one of them was imbued with kindness, incredible personality and the sort of character that are impossible to forget. Charlie exemplified it all.
My sincerest sympathy to everyone.
And special love to Ginger.

I want to express my deepest sympathy to the Hill family. May God comfort you as only HE can.
I first met Charlie in the Winter of 1989 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming after my wife and I began attending the same church with Charlie. All the memories come flooding back of those days. I was struggling with my dream of running an outfitting business in the most beautiful place on earth. I think Charlie understood that dream. Charlie had the chance to share in what it was like to...

Charlie was the coolest, friendliest, and most handsome guy I've ever known. We were in the same class at Shades Valley and I too was fortunate to meet up with him again at our last high school reunion. Phi Alpha, Charlie. Memory Eternal.
