To the Kite Brothers and their families, Charlie was one of the good guys even though we didn't stay in touch. I know that mama and papa's up bring stuck with him. I'm sadden of his passing and will keep your family in prayer. May God be with you all at this trying time.

Sail on! God Bless Us All!
