Not sure what to say?

I love you eternally and miss you! I still think about you every day! Love, Lynne Elizabeth

Back when Charlie was called Chuck, I recall going to Canandaigua with him in his green station wagon and his sweet English Setter for a dog show, my first. We had lunch near the lake then on to the tent. Although I was just a spectator who helped haul things, it was such fun, but his pup didn´t win. Afterwards, we briefly went to Roseland for a ride or two, as I recall. On the ride home, Charlie patiently explained some of the intricacies involved in the dog show circuit. A lovely memory.

To Liz, Lynne, John. I can't find enough words to express the sorry I feel. He truly was one-of-a-kind. I only wish I had been able to make the trip to see all of you again before this happened. The world was a brighter place with him in it, and it will be a dimmer place now that he's gone. He had to have been one of the kindest, smartest, gentlest people to pass this way. All of you are in my prayers. Love, Janet

Sean and Eric thank you for your grandfatherly guidance and endless love!

Dad,

You are the best. I am not saying "were" because I can feel that you are still with me, and our family. You left us too soon...darn mesothelioma. God must have needed an engineer in heaven. He got the best one!

I love you, Daddy.

Hugs and love for all eternity,

Lynne Elizabeth

You're in prayers Liz, Love you ?

My heartfelt sympathy to Charlie's family. He and his wife were part of our camera club's weekend trip to Fort Rock a few years ago. I had such a nice time visiting with Charlie and his dog that was also along for the trip. RIP friend.
