Not sure what to say?

Even though I never got the chance to meet him, Mr. Charlie is one of my greatest inspirations for wanting to get into nature photography. My goal has always been to produce great works like his. I've been trying for the last few years to get a chance to see him in action at the Florence Club, where my dad works, and this year was finally going to be the year that dad was going to bring me whenever Mr. Charlie came over to take pictures. He will always be my inspiration and will always be in...

We adored Mr. Charlie and send our warm thoughts and prayers to Charlie, Meagan and the entire family. Mr. Charlie will live on in all of the lives he has touched -- sometimes without even knowing the special differnces he made. Enjoy your reward - we will miss you - The children of Jim and Peggie Farley - Ross, Allison, and Virginia.

Charlie, I will miss your photos in my ebox and the exchange of information that you were more than happy to give. So glad you made your way to Gueydan many years ago to photo the birds in the area. You will be so missed. Rest well in God's peace.

Charlie was one of the most patient men I have ever known. I pulled up to him on Wright road near Gueydan in the Fall. He was sitting in his burgundy Suburban holding a camera with a lens that barely fit through the window. I stopped the car and he motioned me in. There began a friendship that has lasted for many years. His humor and self-deprecation of his photographic skills got to me. We still have signed prints of his favorite photos in our store and I'm not sure if I want to sell them...

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My sympathies.

I am so sad to hear about Charlie. Although I've known him since the 1960s (USL, Gaidry's, Partner's), I really got to know him when working with him on the bird book. I shall miss him. Please know I will keep him and all of the family in my prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Mr. Charlie for his sense of humor and good conversation. Rest peacefully my good friend.

Charlotte, Jimbo, Charlie and Meagan. So sorry for the lost of you brother and father. My prayers will be with all of you. May he rest in peace.
