Charley and I didn't meet until senior year of high school. We were in the first graduating class of Nativity BVM High School in Pottsville, Pa. We were both on the football team but that was our only contact as he lived in a different town. It seems that Charlie had a good life which is good. My condolences to his family. Our nickname for him was Charlie Tape. Not sure how that started but guys who played backfield positions usually had their ankles taped before the games. He played fullback so he got taped up.
He was playing behind Dave Mills who was on several all-star teams and earned a full scholarship to Holy Cross. We didn't get to see how good Charlie might have been but he was ready if they needed him.

I miss my Poppie a lot, all the wit and knowledge he'd bring with him, too. I put a dedication for him in the second issue of Pink Lemonade earlier this year because his strength really inspired me over the last 8 months. Even with a ton of physical limitations he still had more patience than any of us. Love you Poppie, I got it all in my parking lot.

To my loving father (Poz), my heart is heavy and broken. The world is a much lonelier place. My dad was a selfless person who always put others first. He had a sharp mind, a photographic memory and a witty sense of humor. He was strong, brave and took patience to another level. Heaven gained an Angel; may he be at peace and free of suffering and pain. I love you and I miss you dad.

Charlie was the main rep in getting me approved for my ICS training thru the VA, which started my career in Drafting.
Sincere sympathy,
