My condolences to the family and friends of "Charlie". I went through Harbor Creek High with Charlie and played football with him. You could always count on him to get his job done and protect his teammates.
We'll miss you Charlie.
Go with God. We know that you are "ringing the bell" for all of us.

So sorry to hear of Barney's passing. Him and I spent a lot of good times at the Cider Mill and at camp in Ludlow together. He's probably playing cards and drinking a Genny with the Ludlow boys right now.
