On behalf of The Chamber SWLA, our deepest sympathy to Joanna and your family. Charlie served as a longtime board member and Chairman of the Board. He also was awarded the Civic Service Award which lets you know he was held in such high esteem by not only the Chamber, but also by the community. He will be missed but always remembered.
