I met Charlie through Ron Novitski, I was really in a bind trying to raise this little house by White River and Ron recommended Charlie, and am I glad he did, he stayed with me on the project until we got it finished even after all the trouble we had with the City of Indianapolis. I am so sorry to see Charlie's Obituary,I will be thinking of all of you throughout the Holidays.
