You were one heck of a man Uncle Charlie and when you sang you either made me cry or send chills with every word of your songs. Outback had nothing on you when it came to cooking a steak. You were kind sweet crazy silly man and I feel honored to know you. Rest now my friend your battles here are over and now you can continue singing with the many great country singers in heaven. Go rest high on that mountain my friend. Love ya Uncle Charlie

Charles will be greatly missed by all that knew him. I remember all the good times we shared with music while he and Jennifer were in Maine. I am so glad we had a talk recently and remembered our good times. I wish I could attend, but my health wont allow at this time. I will hold you in my heart, Go rest High on that Mountain my friend, till we meet again.
