Sorry did not find out about Charle's passing until to late. Lost track of Charles over years and could not find out where he went to. Walked to school with Charles from "Hogwallow" to Clark School, if you know where I am talking about, until he went to Rock Hill for high school. Aways liked Charles and I am sorry I lost track of him. After I retired I drove cars to dealers in Martinsville an I am really sorry I didn't know he lived there, would have loved to have gotten to gather with him.

To Gloria and family,praying for you all at this time of sorrow. Chick was one of the finest men I ever knew. Grew up together in Charlottesville. Wish we could still throw football under the lights as we did as children. I know that he is in a better place. Lewis Lawson
