My thoughts are with you at this time Betty, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Charlie was funny, happy, and a joy to be around. It was a pleasure to help him out whenever I could during my time at Mary Ann and he never failed to show appreciation. May he Rest In Peace.

Bob and I were so sorry to read about the loss of Charlie. He was a wonderful guy and so much fun. We are still in Arizona and may be here for a long time.
Best,
