I worked with Chuck at Structure Probe for many years. I must say that here was a man that was an amazing person. He knew every employees name and had a nice thing to say about everyone. He was computer literate and monitored how his company was doing from afar. He had an excellent management group and kept things going on a day to day basis. I will alway remember him as a man to be admired.

Chuck was a wonderful, witty and wise friend for some 40 years. There are many moments in our talks together that stay with me and have with time become a part of me. My sympathy and condolence to Babsz, and to his colleagues and friends who can no longer share his company even as they cherish their memory of him.

What a great sadness. I was happy to meet Dr.Garber personally early May 2007 during his visit to Israeli Microscopy Society meeting in Rehovot, Israel, a day before my flight to Moscow. He impressed me as a great man with focused dedication on his microscopy business development. While it was a short meeting, he asked me of my science developments, and made important notes on the academic life, scitech and their relationship.
I would like to share my sincere sympathy with members of Dr. Garber SPI's business team, Charles family, and those who he loved and who loved him.
Let Chuck rests in peace. I will remember him for the rest of my life.
Sincerely,
Alexei Kudinov, MD, PhD, DrSci
