We were so very sorry to learn of Charles' passing away. We met Charles & Dolores in 1988 while on an Alaskan cruise. We instantly were drawn together as if we had been friends for years. They have visited us in North Carolina and we've visited them in Texas several times over the years. We will sorely miss our dear friend from Texas.
