I was a student of the class of 88 at la salle academy prov. I wasn't the most serious student to class room learning. I was never sure on a lot of things joking around and having fun was my way to get threw it! When I became a senior brother Charles asked me to join in a celebration!!!!! I looked at it like sure time out of classes I'm in! For two months or so I learned a lot about helping ,respecting,and to truly understand why we are here . He told me and I will never forget these words as long as I live "we all hold a special part in this world and mine he said was to make people smile and laugh "
Being part of the "celebration " was one of the most moving experiences of my life !! Brother Charles will always be missed by me and I know from all that we're involved!!! He was a special person to the classs of 88 and I'm sure to so many more . You will be missed but always in are hearts!! Thank u Bob Buckley "put it in a can" who's up for cards ?

To the Kitson family,
I was saddened to hear of Charlie's passing. During our high school years we shared the same homeroom all four years and became good friends. He was one of the nicest guys I had the good fortune to know. With our 50th reunion coming up in May, I was looking forward to seeing him again and catching up. He will be sorely missed. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss.

Dear Mr. Kitson and Millie,
With our sincere sympathy on Charlie's death. We saw Charlie, I believe, last Fall at St. Mary's, 5 pm Mass and chatted with him after Mass. Jack and I will be away tomorrow through Saturday; my heart aches.
