I have many precious memories of my grandfather - the JFK coins he collected from each year a grandchild was born, watching wrestling, having a coke with him at the American Legion, grilling in the summer, swimming with him in the pool, the way he took care of Grandma and his family... He even helped me get my driver's license! You will be missed, Grandpa.

Charlie has been a part of our family for over 17 years and we all loved him. My children and grand children thought of him as their Gandfather since he was always with Grandma Lucy. We will miss him more than words can express.
