Charlie was one of my favorite peeps on the department! Always calm and calculated with great one liners on location. "Looks like plenty of fire for everyone." I will miss you my friend but glad you are at rest! Well done!

Charlie was a legend on the Anchorage Fire Department. Cool and calm, he was a true role model for those on the department. When I drove for him on Truck 3 it was always fun because of his professional demeanor and uncanny ability to always be the first one on the truck! My condolences to his family and friends. Rest easy Charlie.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there is a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
