Jean, I was so sad to read about Charlie's passing. I was actually looking for him on grandparents day at the Covenant School held a couple weeks ago. Charlie was always the nicest and kindest person. I still even remember him from Acme Visible Records as well as Hopeman Brothers. He would always have words of encouragement no matter what your problem was. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. Doris and Peter Van Vleet
