Sincere condolences to the entire family. I too worked with Charlie at Plough many years ago when I was stationed in Kansas City and we both reported to George Winkler.
Many,many fond memories and he will be sorely missed.

Dear Gerry,
Thank you for letting us know that Charlie passed away. I've known Charlie for 25 years or so, through company meetings with Plough Sales. He was a good friend and a real gentleman. He did not leave without a fight. Semper Fi.
