He had a great love of life - Rest In Peace !

I write in deep appreciation for the compassion and conviction Charles displayed. He was so supportive of me. He made a real difference in my life and my ability to contribute with confidence to community causes. He had vision. We can carry it forward it. He is deeply missed.

You will be missed & lead an amazing life from what I read, your legacy will live on in your kids. Your musical talent will on in your daughter. Thank you so very much for your determination for her being on " The Voice" so that we may hear what you heard everyday. Your an inspiration, not only to your kids, but to ALL of us. We thank you.

Mr . Willett: Yours was a life well lived. We at the ACLU-FL are grateful for your long-standing passion, commitment and voice in the fight for civil liberties and free speech. Your legacy remains -- through CounterPoise, Civic Media Center, and the legions of UF students you mentored. Thank you. Hats off to you.

Charles, thank you for your dedication to justice. Although you didn't know me personally at the time, on behalf of the ACLU, you successfully upheld the rights of my children to attend Baby Gator without immunizations based on my religious beliefs. For all you have done, the memory of you will always bring feelings of gratitude to my heart.

Charles, may you find the peace and equality in eternal life that you sought throughout your lifetime. You leave behind a beautiful legacy in your family, friends and significant life accomplishments. Peace be unto you.
