CHARLES THANHAUSER

I always thought that I would see you again. My heart is breaking.

I belatedly learned of Charles' passing when I saw the obituary notice in the November Penn Gazette. A close childhood friend of "Chas," (as he preferred to be known back in the day), I spent many weekends together with him from early childhood through high school years at Boyer Street, Addison Court and Loveladies. The Thanhauser and Seltzer families along with the Pomerantz's and Greenhouse's would gather together most holidays secular and religious. After college, our paths drifted...

Truly one of the good guys, gone way too soon. Charles - will always think of you when I hear a jazz drum solo. My sincere condolences to his family and staff.

So sad to hear of Charles's passing. He was important to me through college and many years after. Charles was so smart, so energetic, so entertaining.

I was so shocked to hear about Charles' passing. My deepest condolences to his friends and family. Charles was a great Architect and Humanitarian, and always brutally honest. I had the opportunity to work with TEK as he allowed my new engineering firm some opportunities to grow. Charles will be missed.

Once again, my condolences to Charles' family, friends and TEK's employees. He leaves a void!

Charles - we knew each other for a long time. I will miss you dearly . . .
