Greetings to family, friends, and well-wishers for Charles Coletta. Once upon a time many years ago, before he became a world traveler to China and other places abroad, before he was known as Charlie in more recent relationships, Chuck lived in Ohio where he grew up and went to high school in North Canton and then went to and graduated from the University of Cincinnati (UC).
It was during our freshman year at UC that I had the good fortune of meeting Chuck and living with him in the same dorm/suite.
Over time, I had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with a number of Chuck's friends from Hoover High including Dwayne, Don, Brian, Brian, Paul, and his high school sweetheart Becky.
I had the pleasure of being welcomed into Max and Shirley's home and meeting them and Chuck's brother and sister, Tony and Teresa.
In Cincinnati, we had a number of mutual friends including Scott, Chris, Don, Ron, Mike, Tim, and his loving bride to be and eventual life partner Greta.
I ask for forgiveness from friends I may have omitted.
We had many good times together when we were poor college students and young adults but were rich in spirit times I shall cherish.
Chuck had many good friends who cared about him. Likewise, Chuck cared about us.
Chuck, we will miss you but you will remain in our memories and in our hearts.

My Deepest Sympathy to the entire Coletta family . Charlie was my friend , I met him over 11 yrs ago . I was immediately smitten with his charming personality as I'm sure everyone he ever met was . We forged a deep friendship . He was a Complex and Conflicted man . Funny loving and generous . His kindness and thoughtfulness knew no bounds , he was filled with love and tenderness that's just who he was . I will never forget you my loving friend . My you rest in eternal peace . Catalina

Charlie and I had a great time here in Mount Shasta California. He was very bright and very charming. I still have his chihuahua Kloe. I was concerned about his health back in 2012 and 2013 His adrenal glands were far too stressed along with sleep apnea. Together it's a big toll on your heart. Rest in peace Charlie.

Charlie was very bright and very charming. He came to Mount Shasta California and we went to the mountain and shopping,dinners,movies. He bought a girl chihuahua (Kloe) I kept her for him and I ended up with her. I noticed some concerning signs of stress and took him to several doctors. They said his adrenal glands were far too stressed and if he didn't take care,it would end up affecting his heart. I guess that is what happened. He was sweet and kind.
