Our prayers go out to family they've lost a great man. I enjoyed lots of conversations with Charlie at the post office when he'd come to get their mail. You never knew what topic we would have but we thought we both learned something. He will be great loss to his family but the community will miss him also. Go rest high on that mountain Charlie.
