Condolences to the family of Charles Officer,
Many have noted his brilliance as a filmmaker, a leader and a genuinely good person. Whenever he spoke he was fair-minded, approachable, and probably so peaceable to be around. His characteristics and outstanding abilities as a director, too, made notable persons want to work with him and for him. I would like to say that some of this came from you, too, those he personally loved and adored.
A wise man said a few thousands years ago "A good name is better than precious ointment.." Find comfort in knowing you helped him to be his best and to make such a good name.

I met Charles at a showing of his fantastic documentary 'Unarmed Verses' at Innis College, University of Toronto. A wonderful artist, humble, personable, with so many stories to tell. His voice will never be quieted in spite of his tragic, and much-to-early passing. Rest in Peace and Power, Charles.
