Charlie was a man that Janet and I always admired. When he was a teenager we loved receiving photos and thought of him as "the great good-looking all-American kid". Then we received the photo of Charlie in his US Naval Whites - Richard Gere wouldn't have stood a chance!

Charlie undoubtedly proved to be a very brave and courageous man. My regret is that we never got to meet, but I am so very glad that my sister, Janet, did last summer.

Please accept our heartfelt condolences. Thinking of you all at this very sad and difficult time.
Sue and Roger

As a little girl I only knew Charlie in photographs, but last year I had the honour of meeting him for the first time and what a pleasure that was. He was such a lovely man and his broad grin and that twinkle in his eye will remain with me always. We shall all miss him so much nobody more than Jan and her family and Val too. I hope now Charlie is at peace and can set up home inside our dreams.
