My husband Bruce and I, Emily, knew Charles from the Y and were saddened to hear he had passed away. He was a mainstay there - he seemed to know and greet hundreds of people and all of our friends knew him. When he wasn't there, he was missed. He was so kind, friendly, and personable and seemed to have a very interesting life! Our sincere condolences go to all of his family and friends as a very special person has left us.
