Gerry and Family: We were truly heartbroken by your phone call telling us about Charles passing. I enjoyed our phone conversations with the both of you since he retired and moved to Lady Lake, FL to live. He always felt that he was ten years younger being there and able to enjoy playing sports. Charles had tremendous love and was extremely proud of his family. He had a terrific sense of humor and ability to always make you laugh. He was like a father and best friend all in one person. I will fondly remember forever our working days together at U.S. Army Aviation Systems Command (AVSCOM) in St. Louis, MO. He was a tremendous teacher and mentor to me. I know he has made this world a better place to live in through his unselfish kindness and friendship. Please accept our deepest sympathy on your loss. We will continue to touch base with you and keep Charles and your family in our daily prayers. May you find comfort in knowing that he Rest in Peace in Heaven for Eternity. God bless you all!

So sorry to hear about Charlie's passing. I worked with him at AVSCOM in DAS. I remember talking to Charlie right after his retirement and he was so excited about retiring to The Villages in Florida. When I think about Charlie, I remember his great sense of humor and he always had a smile.

My sincere sympathy to his wife and family.

Charlie may you Rest In Peace and you will be missed.
God bless...

So sorry to hear of Charles' passing. So many fond memories of him in the neighborhood. Can still hear him (in my mind) "whistling" for all of the kids to come in! You have my deepest sympathy along with my parents!
