We have been friends of Charlie for 47+ years. Charlie was also the type of person that kept everyone laughing. He loved having a good time and most of our "Fun" memories are when we went camping. Both Bill & I were lucky to talk with him a few days before he died. He has wonderful sons who will keep his memory alive.
Charlie you will always be missed by us. Rest in Peace.
We Loved You,
Bill & Linda Schiestel

I will miss his smile, his stopping by to have me go shopping and lunch with him, he came over 3 or 4 times a week and called when he didn't come to visit. He once drove from Chicago to Mesa just to come for dinner!
