My family and I are so saddened by the passing of such a great man. Ever since I was a young Child, my mother (his sister “Cass”) and father (“Ger”) alway spoke about “Uncle Charlie” as a big, strong, leader, who helped build Baltimore. At High School age my brother Sloan and I worked for Uncle Chuck at his Potts and Callahan Rock Crushing Plant: “the Crusher!”. We lived with our “Grandma Nan” and really learned hard work under the supervision of Uncle CharlieAll Charlie’s employees loved and respected him and this was evident when Charlie would drive into the crusher - greeted by “hey Boss!” And “how-ya doin’ Chuck?” To make sure everything was going to plan, and (showing his love) checking in on his nephews. Charlie and his family are always so incredibly generous and taught me and my brother so many unforgettable life lessons. My heart aches for Aunt Kit, Sean, Travis, Tyler and their familieswe love you so much and will/remember miss Uncle Charlie forever

Mr. Holub and Family-
Words cannot express my sadness and love for a man who showed me how to be a man for others. Your humility and confidence in all he did is a gift that I possess and have instilled in my children. I am still in a state of disbelief that this larger than life coach, father figure, mentor and dearest of friends is no longer with us. Until we meet again sir! Love , Nut
