I remember Charlie with much fondness tonight. Charlie and my late father were friends since their time in college and maybe even before that at South Park HS. Both products of the chemistry department at UB, they kept in close touch for many decades. They visited Turkey, Greece and Italy after college and spun a tale of a misadventure driving through Yugoslavia. He was a committed long distance bike rider, going so far as take the time to bike through France. His letters to the editor about the state of education in Buffalo put smiles on many faces and gave a mere hint of his wit and sarcasm. Shalom and farewell, Chuck. Hope you and dad are playing chess with the masters.

I had Mr. Breinen for Chemistry at Riverside High School in 1973. I loved it so much that I decided I would go to college for Chemistry. That dream didn't work out, but I will forever appreciate the sarcasm and encouragement that he gave me.
