Looking up an old friend to catch up and my heart breaks for his family. Charlie was a mentor, teacher, colleague and friend throughout the first 22 years of my career at two different companies.

Judy and Family: We just learned of Charlie's passing and wanted to express our heartfelt condolences. He was a wonderful man!!
