Not sure what to say?

Charles was my room mate at Ursinus college.We were both freshman and this was our first venture into the world away from our parents. We both went on to Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia and then moved to California to practice Medicine. Lots of fond memories,

Charles and I were room mates at Ursinus College in 1958 and stayed friends through college and Med School at Jefferson. Sad to just hear of his passing. Miss him

Dear Charles, so much time has passed and I didn't know. You were just in my thoughts and sadly the result is learning of the tragic news. Perhaps it's never too late to share one's appreciation for another. You were an inspiration.

I'll love you forever.

Dearest Charles ~
You will be remembered and loved - always.
