Read MoreI'm glad I had the honor of meeting with and talking with Col. Waterhouse. I met him at Camp Smith, where I purchased his 280 page catalog of prints, which he personally autographed to me "Joe Burden". He is truly a Marine Corps Historic Treasure.

I am saddened to learn of the passing of Col Charles Waterhouse. As an artist in the Marine Corps art program, I had the opportunity to meet him on several occasions. He was a delight to talk to and always smiling and encouraging. His lively historical paintings of Marines of the past are known to Marines everywhere, and his wonderful sketches from Vietnam are a priceless visual record. Look at his art, and you will know that he loved the Marine Corps.

My heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your Dad. I enjoyed the trips to the museum. The paintings and listening to your Dad tell his story. He was one of a kind.

I had the honor and privilege of meeting Col. Waterhouse and his family back in 2000, at his museum in Tom's River. He graciously allowed me to touch the black sands of Iwo Jima surrounding his wonderful sculpture. As a Marine Desert Storm veteran, he personally signed several prints for me which are now displayed prominently throughout my home. From 'Storming the Seawall' of Tarawa to 'BAR Man' to my very own 'Desert Storm' print. I spent several wonderful hours there swapping sea stories...
