Uncle Charlie, where do I start. My favorite Uncle, working in the green house with Cousin Clark - shoveling manure into wheelbarrows for his plants - found out I did not want to do that for a living! But he taught me how to work hard and that stayed with me till this day.
We all remember the big smile, funny stories and of course the cigar.
Loved the Navy stories and was probably part of the reason I joined the service.
Charlene was a little leary when I told her Uncle Charlie had to give the ok for her to join the family - but she fell in love with him over the years - family parties and of course visits to MAINE and lobster.
Rest in peace Uncle Charlie and we hope lobster is on the menu up there! Maybe a little chocolate for desert.

I have great memories as a kid of my uncle Charlie . From his raw sense of humor, him smoking a big old cigar , to all the different places(beautiful)they lived .Horse and buggy rides thru town in the nice weather and the sleigh in the winter snow with all the bells on the reins. I have so many more but It would take to much time. Always my favorite Uncle !!!!! God bless you Uncle Charlie and rest in peace
(Wonder if he's hanging out with Buffy by his side smoking a big ol cigar)
Love you Uncle Charlie, Bobby Vogel

So many good memories of my Uncle Charlie, I never did understand when someone would call him Bud. My mother's younger brother that she loved dearly.
He gave me so much! My first clam, tours of the greenhouses, fed the goats, horses, tease me, made me laugh, checked out my boyfriends for family approval, many different homes to go visit, kept Brooks Field top notch so I could march down the middle of it(I use to brag about that(my Uncle did this),picnics galore, my next door neighbor in Princeton(priceless),a Navy veteran that was proud of it and I was proud to call my Uncle Charlie. Rest in Peace.

God Bless Charlie Craig. Rest in Peace.
Charlie served his community, family and God for almost 94 years. His tireless pursuit of perfection was an inspiration and a challenge for us. He taught me more than landscaping. Charlie was a great example of family responsibility and work ethic. He truly loved his wife and kids.Charlie was able to make this world more beautiful through his horticultural expertise. I will think of him whenever I see a bright row of evenly spaced marigolds.Charlie's sense of humor was as big as his appetite. He loved practical jokes and all you can ear buffets. Charlie was a great man.

Rest in peace Charlie Craig. God bless Charlie Craig. He served his community, family and god for almost 94 years.Charlie liked to joke around as much as he liked to eat. His tireless pursuit of perfection was both an inspiration and a challenge for us. He taught me more than just landscaping. He set an example for hard work and family responsibility. Charlie truly loved his wife and kids. I will think of him when ever I see a beautiful straight row of evenly spaced marigolds. Miss you Charlie.

Being a member of Hope Community Church for only a few years I got to know Charlie. He was a wonderful man to talk with and listen to. He would always put a smile on my face and he always had a smile for others. You never knew what would come out of his mouth. I enjoyed this man and will miss him as will so many other individuals will who knew him.

Uncle Charlie I will always remember you for your sense of humor! You were an Uncle to me and my family as well as a friend! I will dearly miss your visits to N.J. and hearing stories about the family. You were always welcoming and genuine. You will be thought of often and will bring a smile to us all when we picture you in Heaven! Of course you will not be without a cigar and NASCAR racing!love and hugs to you until we meet again!
