I was deeeply saddened when I learned of Charlie's passing yesterday morning talking with another former Atlantic Research Corp. employee. I worked in Engineering and Tooling deasihn and Charlie was my go-to guy if I had any say about would be assemblying and processing on the projects I worked on. I learned so much from Charlie as a young engineer from Charlie. He was always a pleasure to work with and a hard-charger and believed in quality over expediency and doing it "the right way" vs cutting corners. I spent a number of nights back in the plant with Charlie, working well past midnight getting things done that "right way". I will sorely miss him.
