When our family began attending Mass at Mary Help of Christians in the early nineties, Charlie and Nancy were really the first to welcome us as we sat directly in front of them during Sunday Mass. Our prayers and sympathy are with you and your family. God's Peace be with you (Phil 4:4-7). Tom and Andi Boland

My condolences to Nancy and the Wertheimer family upon Charlie's passing. Charlie and I crossed paths many times over 30 plus years at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Charlie was a joy to talk to and our business dealings were always open, honest and straightforward. It was honor to have worked with Charlie and a privilege to have known him. Charlie will be missed.

Our prayers are with each of you daily during this most difficult time. Remember as hard as it is right now that Charlie is in Heaven and in Paradise with our Lord and Savior. He has no more sorrow,no more pain only complete and perfect happiness and love. The Bible tells us that one day in Heaven is a Thousand years on Earth so it will be like he just got there and will turn around and see you all coming toward him in Heaven. You all will see him again someday and on that day you will forever be together never to be parted again. If you need anything we are right across the street no matter what time it is. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. Lean on the Lord and he will carry you through this. He is right there with you and will not leave you.
