I'm so sorry to hear about Charle passed, I know he most of put up a good fight to try and beat the cancer.

I worked for Charlie at NESL, ACL, and Williams and Manchester as well as his own vessels. Always had a good story.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

RIP Charlie. Worked for Charlie in the 70's for NESL and then in Maine building the American Eagle and Independence. Learned more from him than I did in college. Condolences to his family. Tom Morrison
