Charles and Barb were both a blessing to me. They opened their home to me and their hearts as well. Charles taught me many valuable lessons and loved me unconditionally. Showed me the Love of Jesus through his life testimony and character. He shared with me times of laughter and times of tears. Taught me I could trust the Lord fully. And helped me grow greatly in the Lord. I greatly miss him.
Barb I love you and hope you are well.

Know that Charles and yourself have given me the wonderful gift of love and hope that lies with our Lord and Savior. Would have loved to have known you both many years before I meet you both at Trinity. Know he lives on in my heart through his testimony of Christ in him and through him of Gods great love toward others. A great man of God that gave unselfishly of himself to help me. I will never forget him.
Barb wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a Blessed New Year filled with the joy...

Charles was a classmate at Brunswick High School in Brunswick, Maine and considered a friend, being on the football and basketball teams together. He was a friendly person and a true gentleman. He will be missed by family and friends.

Charlie as we fondly call him,
of whom truly has touched the lives & loved his neighbors (namely those of whom crossed paths in his lifetime) and as we remember him dearly, a very patient and loving mentor to us in serving the deaf ministry under the Loving Lord Jesus Christ direction.
We shall treasure Charlie deep in our hearts forever.
Our deepest sympathies for Mrs. Welner
