Not sure what to say?

Charlie, Still think about you from time to time. You left us too soon!

Hey Charlie! This popped up on my email so I just want to say something to keep your memory alive!

Dear Chan Family,
My sincere condolences on the passing of Charles. I worked closely with him for many years at DHS, and he attended my Superbowl parties. He was a great guy to know. I am very sad he passed.

I met Charlie at Cal in a Cantonese class back around 1972. He was forever laughing and loved good gossip. I remember how meticulous he was with his house when he first had it built. He even included a spacious in-law unit with a private entrance for his mom if she ever wanted to move in.
Charlie, thanks for inviting me up to Sacramento that summer where I joined you in Japanese line dancing at your Obon festival.
I was shocked to hear the news from Russell Kan just last week while...

Wow an amazing man , I am glad to have met you and my children are very saddened. You have touched so many and will always be a part of our life .

Charles and I shared a cubicle wall. But we shared more than that, jokes, laughs, and so much sarcasm. Charles taught me how to never let anything anger you, the ability to let something go. He taught me that there's way more to life than just working for a pay check. Thank you Charles for always making me laugh. One reservation to Cafe con Carlos please!

Always a place at the Mah Jong table for you.

Mah Jong was in Charlie's blood... you will always have a seat at the table and a place in our hearts. Our condolences from the ACC Mah Jong Club. Aloha, Liz

I had mr.chan as a sub since I was in 4th grade now I'm in 8th grade I've seen him throught the Elementary school and I'd say hi and he would always make me laugh because he would put these earrings on but the were stickers and I'm really going to miss him a lot

He was so much fun to hang out with at NAVY softball games....he was a joyful personality that blessed us all. He will be missed.
