Charles Tiedeman

Uncle Charlie, It's been a very long time since I saw you last but if miles and time didn't count, it would seem like yesterday that you snuck up to our back glass door in the dark with a flashlight under your chin to scare everyone except I was the one to spot you and yelled, "Uncle Charlie's here", I was 8 at the time. You were always a happy and fun surprise to everyone. You see, I can picture you as my uncle, younger than I am now. All my memories of you are so good and still fresh in my mind. I love you Uncle Charlie.

Aunt Gloria, Linda, Joy and Michael, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I know how hard it is to lose someone so close and good to you. Treasure all your wonderful memories and share them with the upcoming generations.

God Bless

Love, Kathy Molloy-Hoffman

My sincerest sympathy to Charles' family. I was a classmate of his in Valley Stream. Our class always had a good time with him and I have many fond memories of those times. Phyllis Coombs Hanke

Our sympathy is with you at the loss of your loved one. Joy we share your sadness. Mr. & Mrs. James C. (Jim) Houser.

You are my hero. If I had to pick a Dad, it would have been you. I can't express my gratitude to God for giving me to you. Your love, encouragement, strength of character, loyalty and honor were as amazing as your quick wit and contagious laughter. You taught me more than I could ever articulate, and I can not imagine life without you. I am honored to be your daughter. I don't know how we'll manage without you, but, for you, we will. I love you with every fiber of my being, Daddy. I am so glad you know that. Already I long for the day we meet again, to hear your laugh, and see the smile and twinkle in your eyes. God keep you and cherish you, as we do.
From my lips to your ears: Daddy, thank you so much for being my daddy and I love you, always.

There are no words to say on the loss of this wonderful man. You were such an important part of my childhood and my adulthood. You will be missed. The memories and the stories will get all of us through. Oh the stories we all have to share. I know that you and my Dad are already catching up. You are peaceful and no longer suffering.
