Charles E Black, Jr

Our hearts are broken with the loss of this kind, generous, talented and funny human. We were blessed to call Chuck our friend for so many years and to share so many laughs and good times with him.

We send our love and prayers to Mary Beth, CJ, Sarah and all of Chuck's sisters. He loved all of you so much.

Chuck, rest easy cherished friend. Until we meet again.

My deepest condolences for all his family and loved ones. May the Lord draw you close with His love, comfort and peace during this difficult time.

Chuck not fair you left too soon. You were here so often to help me in times of struggles. If you were 1,000 miles away you always managed to make me smile, laugh and go on .

This is sad. I missed most of your life Chuck. So sorry for your loss. He was a forever friend. Rest in peace Chuck.

We send our deepest sympathy to all of the family. Rest in peace Chuck. We loved your paintings.

Know Chuck for many years. Always a very nice guy to everyone. So sorry to hear of his passing. Thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Such a wonderful man. Loved his family and friends. Love you brother.

Charles was my very first date. He took me to the Vienna Grade School Carnival, when we were in fifth grade. He will always be "Charles" to me.

My condolences to his family, and to all of his friends. He definitely made a difference in our lives, as he shared his wisdom, art, journeys, and photographs.

Rest in peace, Charles. You are now a new kind of shining star.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I´ve known Chuck since we were children at Vienna Grade School. I was so happy to reconnect with him on FB and to own a bit of his artwork. What a kind and diversely talented man he was. My heart is with all who knew and loved Chuck.

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Chuck in Parkersburg. He was very kind and thoughtful. I followed his art - he was very talented. He will be missed by many.

CONDOLENCES To Chucks family and friends. Prayers for them as well

It's tough losing a childhood friend. School, Scouting, Sand lot sports and summer buzz cuts. Our moms were den mothers for den 3, pack 20. Chuck hosted my bachelor party and loaned me his muscle and his dump truck to help me move into my first home. Chuck was Prince. We lost touch over the years, but Facebook brought us together again. I am grateful for that. I really enjoyed seeing his postings and paintings. Like Chuck himself, they are joyful. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. Until we meet again old friend.

So sorry for loss. Marianne and Jerry Reilly.
