Charlie was a dear friend and co-worker with me in the MSFC Aeroballistic Laboratory in 1987.

Charlie was a great friend and fellow worker when we were in Aerobalistics Lab. Otha H "Skeet" VaughAn Jr.

Charlie was a dear and great co-worker of mine. I met Charlie when he and I worked together in the Space Science Laboratory at MSFC. He and I use to meet at Johnson High track field where we did our early morning walk. I retired in 2010 also, and saw Charlie last in Sparkman Dr. Wal-Mart. My heart goes out to the family. James E. Smith

Charles was a kind and generous co-worker. He was like a big brother to me in my early years at MSFC. I´m sorry he and I had lost touch in recent years, and so sorry for the family´s loss. Wishing y´all peace and comfort.

Charles was a fine gentleman and role model. He was wise, helpful and kind. I was fortunate to know and work with him. RIP Charles.
