Charlie taught me much more than how to tie flies. One of the most genuine and generous men I have known. Love to you, Elaine, and all the family.

So sorry for your loss Elaine. I haven't seen you and Charlie since Ballard's closed. I always looked forward to Charlie coming in and getting a snack of the smoked sausage, that just got done. I will miss his stories of fishing and Kevin A., Always looked forward to the wildlife prints. Charlie was a Great Man and will be deeply missed.
