Dear Lolita and Family:
My sincere condolences on the passing of Charlie. You and go back a long way growing up on Baccich Street. Charlie and I grew up together in Gentilly (Edgewood) and played football with the Shamrocks in the mid and late 1940's.
Charlie and you are in my prayers.

Dear Lee,
So sorry to hear about Charlie. Everyone says "they are in a better place" but it is those of us left to grieve. I know you will certainly miss him.

I worked for Charlie for twenty five years. He was a great man. I admired and enjoyed working on many construction jobs with him.

Above all, he was a good friend. I think of him often and will always miss our days at Pittman Construction Company.
