Charlie was extraordinary. He was brilliant and warm. He was a handsome man with a leonine head, a walrus moustache and a. deep, deep voice. He loved music, especially opera. He cried when he was moved. He adored his beautiful wife, Joanne. A family man, he presided over festive feasts at his home every Christmas Eve. We felt honored to be there.
Rest In Peace, dear Charlie.
