Dear JoAnn, We are so very heartbroken to hear this news and are so very sorry for your loss. I have many many great memories of my time working with Charlie for over a decade at Moore in the EMS dept. I was new and he helped me so much. No matter how busy he was he would always take the time to help me and answer my questions and I had many. I wish I would have told him how much that meant to me. He was not only my coworker and team mate but more like a brother. He was a special person and without a doubt one of the sweetest people I have ever met or ever will meet. He truly had a heart of gold. I will always remember his kind eyes and warm smile and how he always made me laugh. I am blessed to have known him and to have him in my life. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have been a small part of his life and to have been present when you began your life with him. I will always cherish the memories of that time and keep them in a special place in my heart.
Please know we are thinking of you and all of Charlie’s family with so much love during this difficult time and keeping you all in our prayers.
With our deepest condolences,
from Carol, Dan and all the Redikers

Great description of Charlie. I had the pleasure of working with Charlie for a few years at Moore Medical. We had some good times and I have fond memories of Charlie. We lost touch over the years but I do remember his great sense of humor and his passion for the Red Sox. My deepest Condolences.
