I am so sorry I did not know about Charlie's untimely death. Charlie married me December 31, 1971 and we were amicably divorced sometime in 1973. We had dated for 3 years prior and thought our frequent squabbles would be over if we got married. We were wrong about that, and agreed to divorce before any kids came along. We stayed in touch until he told me he had moved to NH and had a special lady in his life. I don't know who that was, but thought out of respect we should stop contact.

I wonder who will read this at this late date, but I wanted to share what little I can about him.

Charlie was a very nice, decent man. A sports-nut back then. I thought he should have gotten into sports announcing, he was so handsome and personable -- but he had no interest in doing that, saying he really wasn't qualified.

Watching the Bruins' Stanley Cup games on TV, he got into playing ice hockey himself at that time. A bunch of his friends got together and rented late-night time at a local indoor ice rink. I tried skating with him at Lynn Arena's Sunday pleasure hours, but he was too fast for me! I never saw him play, but imagine he was a formidable opponent.

He liked tennis, too -- but I was no fun to play with. I remember his gleeful laughter at my misses -- they were funny. When I did connect, it went straight up in the air and he spent more time retrieving balls from the weeds than he did actually volleying back and forth. To this day I can't hit the broad side of a barn and think and talk of him when someone suggests we try a game. NOOOO!

Charlie loved to eat, and we ate out all the time. He liked my cooking too, but was especially fond of his mother Anna's Swedish Dumplings and disappointed that I didn't like them and wouldn't learn how to make them. His Dad George liked the carbs too, and ended up passing of diabetic "complications". I wonder if that would be the "illness" his obit refers to -- it is a terrible thing to inherit if true.

I have renewed this Guestbook for just a year to share my memories of a man who was well aware of my faults and loved me anyway and express my condolences to the remaining family members who remember this part of Charlie's life. If the family likes it, I'll extend it.
