I will always remember the day more than 30 years ago when Charlie forced open my front door after my two-year old accidentally locked me out. He was always a good neighbor, and pleasant to talk to. He will be missed. Condolences to his family.

Charlie more a brother than a brother-in-law. You were always there for me and my family. Words can not express how much you are loved by us. May God welcome you with open arms and May you Rest In Peace.
