Charles Raymond

I knew that there was some reason why I kept feeling the need to call Charlie but put it off until it was too late. I did not get to say good-bye but I know that Charlie knows that I loved him like a father. His death leaves a vast hole in my heart.

He was one of the most generous men I have ever known. He would always lend a helping hand without asking questions. I am really going to miss those summer days out by the pool. No one could party like Charlie. Sleep all afternoon...

I knew Charlie for over 37 years. He was more than just a friend, he was like a second father to me. He was always joking and bring joy to everyone. He will be missed dearly.
