Charlie was my first lead man in the Sikorsky Development Center In the spring of 1980. We had the pleasure of working with him in flight operations for quite some time. When my family had a benefit to support Gary Stikkel we had a raffle and Charlie donated bluebird houses he hand made. He cared for his guys and I will miss him forever. Godspeed Sharkey. Tom Riley
