My condolences to Charlie's family. I was a co-worker of Charlie at Merriman. He was most definitely one of "the good guys". I have many fond memories of our coffee break bantering over who was better, his Montreal Canadians or my Boston Bruins.
I am sorry to learn of his passing!

It makes me so sad to think of Charlie not being here. He was a wonderful man who was a quiet presence at every family gathering. He adored his Lil and even in her last days he could put a smile on her face. RIP dear Charlie.

Uncle Charlie, you were always so quiet, yet when the timing was right, quick to interject something witty. You were a humble and good man. I am happy that you are with my aunt Lil.
