Charles Milton Shaffer Jr.

Mr Charlie was a wonderful man with many stories. You will be truly missed.

I grew up with Charlie in Chapel Hill, a few houses up Gimghoul Road. He was 6 years older, but always cordial, waving at me as he did his daily jog and I rode my first bicycle. I could walk to the UNC tennis courts, and watched him play in tournaments. Before the days of giant basketball arenas, I wandered into the gym and watched him play basketball as captain of the UNC team. His life had a major impact on mine. My mother learned of Woodberry Forest School from Charles Senior, and I...

Please except my deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time of grieving. May God be with you and your family in this time of sorrow.

We will all miss a very dynamic and generous person.

A major force in bringing the Olympics to Atlanta! Billy Payne gave credit to him for his role in Atlanta’s coming out party!
RIP

My condolences to the Shaffer family for their loss.
I knew Charlie from my first day at Woodberry and shall never forget him. I wanted to "be just like him." Anyone reading his obit would say the same.
What a legacy!

I did not know Charlie personally, I was several classes behind him at Carolina. But I loved UNC and UNC sports, and Charlie was who all us boys wanted to be.

My sincere condolences to Harriet and the entire Shaffer extended family. It is always a very sad day when a teammate of yours passes. Charlie had such a presence when he was a student/athlete at Carolina, and, obviously, after he graduated he continued to make his presence felt. I always will remember Charlie as one of the great people that I have had the pleasure of knowing over my lifetime. Your current grieving will soon be replaced by the many wonderful memories of many great times...
