Mrs. Tornetta, Carolyn and families, Lou and I send our deepest condolences to you given Charlie“s passing. Although we only had the pleasure to meet him once at your 4th of July party Carolyn, we were so impressed by his warm smile, love for the shore and the Phillies, and his pride for his long marriage!
We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
With sympathy,
Donna and Lou Salvucci

My deepest condolences to the Tornetta family. Charlie and the Tornetta family welcomed me when I first started working in Montgomery County back in 1978. He was a great friend and mentor and I will truly miss him.

I have so many fond memories of Charlie. We met when I first entered the real estate business in 1986. We did a small deal in the PMEC long ago. He never forgot my name, and he never missed the opportunity to say hello to me, and share a kind word. I am sorry I can not make the arrangements, but know I am praying for the family and friends left behind behind by the great man. May he rest in peace, God love you all.
