Charotte, I am so very sorry to hear about Charlie and I know that you all will miss him very much. He was such a pleasure to know and it was always very enjoyable being around him. Even though I had not seen him in a number of years, I have often thought of you and him. It has been a joy to have known you both and to have danced in the square with you all so many times. My prayers are with you in this very sad time in your life.

We enjoyed knowing Charlie through the world of square dancing. He thoroughly enjoyed teaching others to dance and he also took delight in dancing in a square. We will miss him even though we did not get to see him often. He was always a gentleman.
