Lorraine our hearts are hurting for you, Heather, Scott and family. Charlie loved you all with a fierce passion that was wonderful to watch.
Our hearts are also full of wonderful memories that will keep Charlie with us always. Among the many things we will miss will be the way he could tell a story. Keeping one guessing to the end if it a jok or actually true.
We will miss his friendship the most.
