Charlie worked with me for over 25 years. He was my right hand man at the Post Office
I am so sorry for your loss. I talked to him just a couple weeks ago and seem fine.
We talked about Todd´s sudden death. I was blessed to have Charlie as a friend and co-worker.
Mike Eaves or as Charlie always put it HI Boss!
