I loved Charlie. He was so soft and kind. We became next-door neighbors and friends when the houses were built in 1955. I so enjoyed the entire family: Pearl, Pepper, and Arlene. My love and sympathy to Arlene, the sole survivor of a great immediate family.

I loved Charlie and I will always cherish our memories on Stratford Rd. and the fun times we had with Pearl, Arleen & Pepper. Rest in peace my good friend. We will miss you.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. I've known Charlie since I was about 6 years old and even though we weren't technically related I always felt some connection to him and his family. He was a great man.
