Charlie was a good man. My best friend since 1973. He’d do anything for you and ask no quarter. We played monopoly together as kids. And played in his sand box. Played football , went fishing , set up slot cars , rode mini - bikes , dirt bikes you name it. Heaven is now a greater place. I’ll miss you buddy and never forget you.
Love , Randy
