Ask me what I was
I'll reply with what I've done.
Those things others would not do, I did.
Those rivers others would not swim, I swam.
Those hills others would not climb, I conquered.
Those bridges others would not cross, I crossed,
I have celebrated. I have mourned.
I have smiled and I have frowned.
I have seen death and felt its warm breath.
It did not faze me.
For I was different, and my spirit shall live forever.
Graveside service with honors will be held September 19th at 100pm Calvary cemetery.

My condolences to my Ottman/Tucker family. I know Charlie will be dearly missed. I remember him as having a good time with his brothers when we were kids at my grandmother´s. I was too young to join in their games of rough housing, but I loved watching and hearing their laughter. Later, I realized he was a very brave young man and could relate to the family´s pride in him. Charle, the war is over. Rest in peace.
