My heart is flooded with fond memories when I think of Charles and I'm always thinking of him as my high school classmate, special friend and someone who really knew his way around a dance floor. ---- doug 'diddy wit' smith

Tiff: Please accept my condolences as I just learned of your Daddy's passing. The last time I saw you, I saw him: at a Bethel Homecoming game around 2004. He was selling tickets and you were right by his side. He will always be near in the spirit. Embrace and cherish his memory. I love you and God strengthen you and your family in this time.

I was also a student of Mr. Sills' art class at George Wythe. He was a caring, neat, and great artist and I learned a lot from him. To the Family, I express deep sympathy and pray that God will continue to richly bless, comfort, and give you peace during this time.

Tiffani, I just learned of your father's passing yesterday. Please accept my deepest condolences. Just remember that there are many who care about you and pray trhat God will ease your hurt one day soon.

Charles and I graduated from George P. Phenix High School, class of 1960. He was a caring friend, great artist and fabulous dance partner. My condolences to the family . He will be missed by so many caring friends.

Tiffani, my prayers and thoughts are with you at this time of sorrow. You may not remember me, but we used to play together as children at Wesley Grove UCC. We went to each other's birthday parties and you always entertained me while my grandparents visited with your's. I can still remember your father's great art displayed throughout the house he designed off of Todd's Ln. He was truly a man of talent and great taste. God bless you and your family.

Tiffani,
I am saddened to hear of the death of your father, Charles. He was a good friend while he was here at Bethel and after he left. I am happy to have had the opportunity to visit him during his illness and know that he was indeed a fighter.

Charles had a great personality and will surely be missed.

Mr. Sills was my student teacher at Phenix High School in the 60's and he made me feel that I could do anything on canvas. I believed him and today I have him to thank because my art career has brought me much happiness. I did have a chance to tell him about the influence he had on me when I saw him years ago at Hampton's Homecoming. He was proud of me. What a fantastic teacher, fantastic person, and the nicest man I have ever known. He was a rarity. May God bless his family and friends.

Tiffani and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. My prayers of comfort and peace have been lifted for you and your family. God bless you all.
