I am posting this to let the whole world know we have lost a good man.
I will try to keep Charles' humor and generosity alive in MTC and my life. It won't fix the hole he left in my heart but it might help someone who needs a “Charles” moment. Feel free to share a “Charles” moment with someone you know who needs it.
RIP my friend. I miss you.

Words cannot express my sympathy for the loss of Charles. His presence will be missed so much at MTC. There were not many days that I did not see him and talk to him. He brightened my day and made me laugh! To quote the last lines of the Irish blessing..my friend," until we meet again, May God hold you in the Palm of His hand."
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
