Charlie and I met at San Jose grade school and were pretty much together right up to the day in San Diego when he went aboard his Destroyer Tender. We had a lot of fun and drove our parents crazy .Too many good times to recount. You are in my thoughts and prayers.Until we meet again. Good sailing Brother!

Charlie & I were schoolmates & played on our high school football team. He always had a big smile for everyone. May he rest in peace. Maybe one day in heaven you can throw me some more passes & see if we can still score touchdowns.
