Charles Shyer was one of the most creative and entertaining individuals I have ever known. Initially a client, we fast became friends. His humor and his innate ability to share an experience was captivating. Our differences politically were always met with laughter. He was so sweet and so kind. When he called me "Bubba," I was honored. And I was and am so very blessed to have known him. His legacy was much more than his success in films. He took such pride in his children. And he had a vast circle of friends! I shall miss him ... his smile ... his curly boyish hair ... his wit ... his enthusiasm for life. Rest In Peace, Dear Friend.
