May God Bless Skipper in Heaven Above. I´m in Shock as I just got word from a friend in Indiana. I just Wished Skip a Happy Birthday early December and got a response on FB. Loved him for Years in the Industry. I´ll copy a pic from WAY back with Skipper third in from right and me third in from left at a Show at old Navy Pier Chicago.
My love and Prayers to Nancy and to the entire Family. He spread Lots of Love and Smiles in his life. RIP Skipper!!

To Nancy & your family our love and our condolences in your loss of Charlie. We remember him as a neighbor from 30 + years ago. Our sons mowed the yard at Yup´s-it was their first real job! Charlie was kind to them and to our family, and we loved him much. God bless you and keep you close to His heart.

We are so sorry for Nancy and family on Charlie´s passing. He regularly reached out to my brother Mike as they were high school friends and he had a love for sharing his love for God.He is with the Lord and is probably hearing "Well done thou good and faithful servant." Prayers for God´s comfort on his beloved family.
