He was a patient at my office and every time he came in all of my staff including myself loved seeing him. He always had the greatest stories and made us laugh & felt important ... he reminded me ALOT like my deceased Pop-pop. It wasn't until today my staff and I were talking about him and decided to give him a call to see how he was doing and tell him we missed his charisma and his chap sticks.. when the message on his answering machine said it was disconnected, we Decided to Google his name ... to our surprise, we heard the news. ..
I just want to say,Spending time with him was like holding court with a man of great heart and intellect. His stories and advice have shaped the way I see the world.
Sincerely

Charles has been a part of our family for 15 years.
A great man who will be sadly missed, but never forgotten.

I have known Charles professionally for more than 15 years. He was always a man of his word and wonderful to work with. We spoke every week and over time I also got to know him personally. I considered him a friend and I am saddened to hear of his passing.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.

I would see Charles often at the Club. Then I saw him at his sons office - what a difference! His eyes would light up when he was with his son! He was so proud of him. Rest In Peace Charles...

He leaves two successful children who are phenomenal parents. He has 4 beautiful grandchildren. What better testament to a life well lived. Charles struggled since his beloved Joan passed away. Finally he can rest peacefully

What a nice guy. Funny, well dressed, easy to get along with. He was so proud of his children. He had a difficult time after the passing of his wife. He never really got over her. Rest peacefully Charles.

My heartfelt condolences to Eric and Leslie. I remember laughing around the kitchen table in Wynnewood. Charles is finally at peace. He struggled so after Joan's passing. Remember the good times when you were all together as a happy family. He loved you both very much. The hurt and sorrow will fade with time. The memories will last for ever - they can never be taken away.

Dear Leslie and Eric, the past 12 years have been so difficult for you. Poor Charles was so lost and lonely without Joan. The turmoil is over and he is at peace. I hope the two of you can finally find solace in the knowledge that he was proud of your accomplishments and success. Hold tight to the memories he left you....they are yours alone. Rest well Charles...

I started my career with Charley. He could sell anything to anyone. Always dressed snappy and drove a flashy car. That's how I remember him. And funny, very funny. His wife was beautiful inside and out. I hadn't seen him in years but I spoke with him earlier this year. He still spoke of Joan. He said she was the light of his life and he missed her terribly. Now you're with her Charley... your friend

I remember Charles always telling jokes. He was the life of every party. He and Joan loved their little family. He was an incredible husband... I never saw one more attentive. Goodbye Charles.
