I rode with Charlie and others while living in Grand Rapids. We did several triathlons as a group. He was quite a character and made our rides together totally fun and memorable.

Hope it helps to know Charlie is still remembered fondly. I especially think of him whenever I put my helmet on to ride my bicycle, but I do it with a smile as I know what passion he had for doing it also.

I will miss him. He was a wonderful mentor during the 80's. We would meet off and on over the years with out last meeting at the Grandville Senior Center. It's a sad day every day now that I know what happened to him prior to his passing. For many months I kept checking his Facebook page, LinkedIn, and other social media and never discovered this event until now, February 4, 2017.

We were deeply saddened to hear about Charlie's accident and sudden passing. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with his family. I have known Charlie since elementary school and I have always considered him a good friend. We always knew Charlie as a "very good man" and "special person". He positively touched the lives of many people due to his winning personality, leadership and sportsmanship. We will always remember him fondly. Steve and Leah (Whaley) Zimmerman

I knew Charles as a patient of mine. I was fortunate to treat him for lower extremity problems from his running or biking. We participated in triathlons and had many a long discussion. Charles was a very kind, pleasant intelligent person. Many times I would not charge him for his office visit because he was more of a friend than a patient, I am thoroughly disheartened on his tragic death. We had talked about biking and its inherent dangers/drivers but always hoped that people would be respectful to acknowledge the biker on the road. I can remember is voice and demeanor . Charles will be greatly missed. He was a great athlete in my mind and a wonderful person . May God bless his family . sincerely Thomas Clay

Charlie & I grew up together, just outside of Funkstown. He helped us bale hay on the farm and we trained & supported each other on and off the football field! What a senseless tragedy that has impacted so many. Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to all of Charlie's family.
