It is with great sadness that I learned of Dr. G's passing only this morning. It has been 30 years since my daughter was delivered by C-section. Visiting his office one week before surgery netted a familiar smile and an order to go directly to hospital admittance...it wasn't his weekend...but he also knew I wasn't going to let anyone but him deliver my baby. It was well into the night and he returned at my insistence but he never skipped a beat. He placed a mirror above my head so I could watch the operation...he stood on a stool and pulled korby out with the umbilical cord between her legs
saying...I think it's a boy...no..no it's a girl...I was thrilled!!! He carried her over to the OR door and held her while Thom photographed her. Once a year we'd cross paths...then PVI & our children brought us back together once again...then we moved on...and away...but I never forgot those precious moments. Mary...I never really knew you but knew of you...you were his rock...his soul and I'm sure he watches your every move..even now..as you comfort each boy's loss you can see a twinkle of
Charlie. He lived his passion through you and the boys...he'll continue to give you strength every moment of every day that passes....I regret his loss...please know in your heart that your "partner" touched many hearts as they passed through his life...my sympathy to your family

I just heard about DR. G. passing I just couldn't beleive it.We just ran into him and his wife at Paninos not that long ago and he seemed so happy in retirement. I was his patient from 1976 until he retired last year. I am the one that scared him to death with placenta abruption and almost died at 16. He saw me through alot and seemed to enjoy watching me mature and find the good life, my husband and I have 2 boys one delivered by Dr. Seitz the other by Dr. G. they are 22 and 20 now. He was very much a father figure in my life. I'll never forget laying in labor and him and my husband talking about hunting! I am so sad for your family's loss, all of our loss.
Sincerely,
Cath Waldron

My deepest sympathies to Mary and her family. Working for Dr. Gueriera was the most rewarding career I have experienced. It was fun to go to work everyday. For Dr. G. the Jukebox plays on.

In July of 1951, when all of us from Transfiguration received notice that instead of going to our beloved West Catholic and we were going to Saint Thomas More, we all screamed. Oh no! Not there!
Little did we know that when we left in 1955, that we had been taken into the STM family. This was especialy because of your Charlie and all of the other really GREAT guys that we got to know. This was so true, that we have a son and grand son Thomas
More.All of us are nearing the end of the only race that counts.Saint Paul tells us to finish this race. Just think, that we will at last meet Saint Thomas himself. You are all in our prayers. All our love, John

I only just heard of Dr. Gueriera's passing this past weekend. I had the pleasure of working with him at Prince William Hospital for 24 years as Director of Medical Records. The greater joy for me was being his patient during that entire time. I used to like to tell him that he reminded me of a little Napolean whenever he would get "emotional" about an issue. Truly a loss to all who were lucky enough to have known him. Mary, my heartfelt blessings to you and your sons! He was always so proud of ALL of you!!

When our big, bustling family moved into the neighborhood, Dr. Charles was just about the only neighbor who did not think "There goes the neighborhood!" Instead, he just smiled and chuckled. Thank you for your genuine kindness. Mary-Bless your heart.

I grew up with Danny and all the Gueriera boys at Highland School in Warrenton. Everyone loved the Gueriera five, and although I did not know their father Charles, to have raised such a nice family is truly an accomplishment and a reflection of what a great father he was. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Charlie was part of the great St. Tommy More family. I played football in the 8th grade against Charlie when he was at St. Donato and I was at St. Callistus. He was a worthy competitor and a kind man of "More". Lou class of '55 St. Tommy More

I have been morning with your family all week. When I heard of his illness I stopped by the hospital taking a chance that he would be there. He delivered five my six children. He was so kind. A tower of a man. I gave him a dozen fresh eggs one time when I was runnig short of money(that was not his first concern, he was strong about taking care of yourself) and he loved it! He said he hadn't seen eggs that big in a long time. I pulled him away from a Fathers Day breakfast on June 18 1989! I felt so bad but he was there and even though we had difficuties he was patient. My heart is sad. I will miss him and knowing how it is to loose your father I will pray for the boys,and Mary. He was loved and respected greatly.
May God bless his loved ones.
The world was blessed by his prescence and wisdom.

Family of Charlie- very sorry for your loss. Undersized in body only- quiet,diligent, intelligent and never mean spirited. He soaked up what the high school had to offer. During a time in our young lives when being your miserable adolescent self wasn't cool , he was himself. The sorrow of graduating and moving on is that you never see some classmates again.

The death of any one of our high school classmates is a jolt, but the news of Charlie's passing was especially sad. It's been 50 years since graduation, but I remember that with his wry wit and acerbic humor Charlie could cut anybody down to size, and frequently did. We were all looking forward to seeing him at our upcoming STM reunion. He'll be there in our thoughts and prayers.

Dr. Gueriera was one of the most compassionate physicians I have ever met. Not only that, but he was just a wonderful man. He was my doctor for over 15 years, and my friend just as long. My prayers and my sympathy are extended to his family; he will be missed by many.

We will never forget Dr. Gueriera, he delivered my second daughter. When she finally entered this world he said "Welcome home Adrianna, you're beautiful." I will never forget those words. Years later Adri met him in town. She was so excited to have met him. Great professional but an even better person. My thoughts to his family and friends.

I was very saddened to hear about the loss of Dr. Gueriera. He was such a great doctor and a wonderful person. After the loss of my father in 1998, it was Dr. Gueriera who helped me thru my time of sorrow. I will never forget him for that. He certainly made the world a better place just by being here. My prayers and thoughts to his loving family.

I am saddened by the loss of a former neighbor, a great hunting buddy, and most of all, someone who I considered as a dear friend. Charles cooked dinner for my family the night we moved from Manassas back to Texas. He also cooked dinner again for another hunting friend and me about 15 years later during a visit with him in his home. He also made a trip to Colorado hunting with us several years ago and that brings back some great memories. He will be missed.

My condolences to your family. Charlie and I were classmates at St. Thomas More in Phila in 1955. I was so looking forward to seeing him again .I told him once that I admired him for who he was and he replied that we were just people. Although we only saw each other briefly in the last 50 years, he will be remembered as a person who cared about others. He was like that when I first met him.

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband, father, brother and grandfather. He was truly a wonderful man and the most compassionate doctor I have ever encountered. I moved down here from Pa. in 1979 when I was seven months pregnant with my third child. I was so nervous having to find a new doctor this far in my pregnancy. Well, from the moment I met Dr. Gueriera I knew that I was very lucky to have found him. He delivered that son and my fourth child and I continued to stay with him until he retired. I was so sad when he retired knowing I had to find a new doctor. Please accept my condolences and thank you for sharing your wonderful husband/father with the community.
