Charles William McGowan

Oh Charles, I was always SO fond of you. You captivated me, enchanted me with your talent. I always wondered how you were doing and hoped you were doing well. I´m so crushed that you passed so long ago and never got to truly know you. Forever an angel- Rest in Heavenly Peace. God Bless your family... Marissa

So many years ago, when we worked together, on the road, you were like my little brother. Your zest for life, your work ethic, and joyful dancing was contagious. Whenever I watch "A Chorus Line," you just shine. I will always remember you, Charlie, with joy and love.

I just came across a 1993 article in the San Jose Mercury by Murray Frymer on Charles McGowan. I would love to send it someone in the family as it was very interesting! Betty Smith [email protected]

Womb to tomb, bro. Love you, man.

Charlie and I were the 2 Equity performers hired for San Jose Civic Light Operas production of Annie Get Your Gun in 1982. He had this amazing sharpness to his dancing that I’ll never forget. I wish I had gotten to know him better. He was kind and incredibly professional. I learned a lot just by watching him. You become a better performer when you work with someone as talented as Charlie. Sad to hear he passed away. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to work with him.

Seven years since you have left this earth, Charlie, and you are remembered, always, for your spirit, your talent, and the love you shared with all your friends, family, and those who watched your joyful performances. Your were, and still are, loved by so many.

You inspired me. I became a better dancer because of watching you.

It sure was an honor to have called you my friend. No matter what, thinking of you will always make me smile. YOU always made me smile. Love you my friend!!

Very much missed in my heart. You were blessed with a very loving mother who I adored as well. You made more people love you then you would ever have know.
