Our Hearts Go Out To the Parente Family
The personal loss of Charles; here on earth, is with great sorrow. Although, he will be deeply missed, the memories will continue to carry-on; through the conversations had by those that he so deeply touched. With the help of reminiscing of days gone by, we pray for Charles's family and friends to come to a feeling of peace, while recalling the wonderful times that were spent together and those special experiences that were had.
Especially memorable, would be remembering how my sister Deborah would tell wonderful stories about Charles and Kathleen's years of traveling and how they were experiencing life, to the fullest; often visiting Chris and her over-seas.
Equally touching would be how blessed Charles was to have raised, four incredibly giving and caring children, whom, over the past year, were witness to his ability to recover in the wake of family reunion and during special family events. Defying the odds, he continued to show courage, strength and determination until the very end; Ultimately...giving his family "Just one More Memory."
In the end we were privileged to have been in the company of my niece and nephew's Grandfather..."The family ties that unit, in times of need." So as Charles watches down, to comfort and protect his family, we pray for hearts to be filled with amazing, loving memories; such as ours. It is not good-bye; its farewell, until we meet again.
With Love and Prayer

Charlie was one of the good guys - my kindest, sweetest uncle.

Uncle Charlie will always be remembered as a loving and caring father to his children who loved the family life that he and Auntie Kathleen created together. They enjoyed a long and very happy marriage and I will always think of him as the best example of a true gentleman.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all today.
Love
Christine (niece) and children Andrew & Alexandra

All of society loses when someone of CHARLIES'
character leaves us,he will live on through his wonderful wife and children....the last thing I said to him was that it has been an honor/privilege to have him as a brother-in-law.He exuded class and the personification of what it takes to lead a life that put a smile on our Lords face.I am a better person for having him as a part of my life.RIP Charles and I will remember him as another person whom was a role model
for me and our children.Love,Bob H.
