Read MoreIt is with great sadness that I read of Charlie's passing. I have missed talking and flying with Charlie. Camping with he and Kay was always fun. A flight together from a camping trip at the Double JJ Ranch with the Barfing Dogs club was a treat that will never be forgotten. I'd love to sit at the campfire with you again my friend as you enjoy an evening cigar. My sincerest condolences to all who knew and loved him.

It is with great sadness that we offer our condolences to Kay and the girls. It was always a good time to see "Challenger Charlie", whether at Lowell, Sparta, Middleville, or at Wolverton Field down at Buchanan. The sight of the red and white Challenger meant a good conversation was at hand. He will be missed. Gib and Patty
