I MET CHARLIE FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN HE AND THE FAREWELLS CAME TO ENTERTAIN HERE AT CAROLINA CARE CENTER AND THEN GOT TO KNOW HIM BETTER WHEN HE WAS WAS A RESIDENT HERE. IT WAS TRULY A BLESSING TO KNOW HIM, SUCH A KIND, GENTLE AND UPLIFTING PERSON. TALKING WITH HIM, ENJOYING HIS BEAUTIFUL "LIVING ROOM MUSIC" OR JUST SEEING HIM LIFTING SO MANY PEOPLE UP WAS A JOY. WHENEVER HE WAS AROUND YOU COULD FEEL THAT "SWEET, SWEET SPIRIT". HE WILL BE MISSED BY MANY BUT HEAVEN'S CHOIR WILL SOUND A LITTLE SWEETER.
