My husband (Bill Early) had the fortunate opportunity to play ball with Charlie in High School and to see him later on while playing men's fast pitch softball some years back. He was always glad to see him. Charlie (as Bill called him was a great guy. Bill passed away this past June. I am sure he and Charlie are sharing some good memories. Bless them both. On behalf of Bill, I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to Charlie's family and his brother Paul who may remember Bill. May Charlie be forever etched in our memories, he was a great guy.
Sincerely,
Peach (Betty) Early
