Dear Buckley Family,

I am so sorry to read of Charley's passing and will be remembering him in my prayers. I knew Charley from Dorchester, B.C. High and perhaps most importantly, the 1963 B.C. High football team, where Charley was the epitome of the player who 'left it all on the field'.

He touched our family's life in his most genuine and gentle way as a friend and neighbor, and he has left a wonderful legacy for all of us who knew him and who know your family. May God bless and keep you safe, Best Wishes from the Earon Family, Gammons Road, Cohasset. -Mary
