Cindy and I are saddened by your loss. Charlie was a great person, taking all folks as they were and giving them respect and support. He was a wonderful neighbor to Anne and Sam and always had a smile and kind words ready for the grandchildren.
He will always be a warm and pleasant memory for all of us in Clan Mackie.

Charlie and Mary Green moved to Statesville in the 1970's and quickly became our longtime friends. Charlie was a gentleman of the old school. He was a devoted husband and father and a great friend with an acerbic sense of humor. He accomplished much in he health care field as an administrator and later in medical logistics. After retirement he made a big difference to the Fifth Street Ministry. We will miss his company and friendship.
