June, Frank and family -
So sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. The years have not erased the fond memories of our childhoods and great times together. I still remember our multi-aged baseball games in the lower field down the hill from your home. Didn't matter if you were younger, ...the 8 & 9 year old kids played with the 12 & 13 year old kids. You might get picked last to play on a team, but you got to play. They say it takes a village to care for children, I'd like to think with had a tribe with your family, the Corvino's the Ranciato's, etc. ...And your mother always there with a watchful eye, and snacks for the us all, especially if we played until dark. Good times! Please accept our heartfelt condolences on your loss. Charley and your family will be in our prayers.
