Not sure what to say?

We met Charlie as a member of the Western New England Candlepin Association and enjoyed many years of his support and guidance of the promotion of the sport.

Our Sincere Sympathy goes out to The Szostkiewicz Family,

Charlie was one of the first owners of a bowling center i met when we built the French King Bowling Center. Sosco was always a very positive person and had a great personality. On behalf of the Western New England Candlepin Bowling Association, our prayers are with Gail and the Family.

Szostkiewicz Family
I was sorry to read of "Sosco"passing. He was a great man who loved his family, and city. He was a true competitor and instilled that innate desire in all who he coached and mentored . All were treated equally and with respect. I always appreciated the counsel he provided to me during my tenure as the superintendent .
Know our thoughts are with you during your time of loss .

God bless your dad, Beth.
He was such a great support to your family. You're all in my prayers.
XO Kathy B.

My Sympathy and heartfelt Condolences go out to Gail and family, and all who knew Charlie. Holyoke has lost a true hero and legend. His unselfishness and dedication to the youth of Holyoke will always be remembered. I have fond memories of him from PeeWee bowling and as my coach in Babe Ruth Baseball. It was always a pleasure to run into him in later years as we laughed and brought up old memories. A true gentleman and great guy, who loved his family.

May you rest in peace.

Love Everlasting

I was one of the hundreds of young bowlers mentored by Charlie. I even worked part time at the bowl-o-drome. Charlie was instrumental in establishing high school competition and initiated a definite rivalry between the schools. I want to express my condolences to all of Charlie's family. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in the years spent with him

You are not alone during this time of sorrow and pain. May God give your family strength and comfort to help you endure this loss. As you remember your beloved one, may the God of peace give you comfort and peace in every way. May you find Strength from the love and care that surrounds you and comfort in the memories that you shared. Theres hope in seeing your dear loved again. Read 1 Thessalonians 4:14.
Please accept my sincere condolences.
