Dear Linda and Family,

I am so sorry and sad that such a great guy is gone. You two are two of the nicest people I have ever known. The perfect couple. I picked up the paper and cried so hard. It doesn't seem possible. He was always so good-natured and full of life. I am sure hundreds of friends will remember him fondly as I do. Please remember in hard times like these of the many friends who are here for you.

Love,

Harriet-Elise

Charlie's daughters, Becky and Julie, were good friends with my daughters all through school. Charlie was one of those people who

always left you smiling and feeling better about life. His smile will keep me going for life. And I know his daughters will carry on the tradition. God's Blessings to all.

My sincerest sympathies to Charlie's family and many friends. It's hard to believe that over 18 years have passed since we worked together on Marginal Way. Everyone worked hard, but Charlie's great sense of humor made sure that plenty of fun and good times were had by all. I think of him often and always will.

Charlie did a terrific job of raising three wonderful daughters, and I'm lucky to have had the privilege of getting to know them.

My deepest sympathies to the Hull family. Charlie was one of the few people that I counted as a real friend, and I will miss him. In the past year or so I visited with him several times in the hospital here in Boston; his spirit and attitude were just as positive as always, and his sense of humor remained intact. Goodbye my friend.
