Dear Mona,
I'm so sorry that Uncle Charles passed away. We didn't see you guys much but did see how much you loved each other when you made it out to visit CA. Reading through the guest book I have learned that Charles was an excellent physician and quite the intellectual. I wish I had known him better. All our best to you.
Love, Sue and family (Mike, Audrey and Connor)

There are no words to express the shock of Charlie's sudden illness which led to all of our loss. Charlie was more like my brother than my first cousin. My brother Jim Alexander and I grew up together with Charlie, and his two living sister's Brenda and Sherri we are a very close family. Charie has always been here for me and my family. I can't begin to tell of all my wonderful memories of our childhood and young adult years together we where very close. We love & will miss him terribly it still is so hard to believe that I will never be able to put my arms around him again. Mona you have always been Charlie's true love and we thank you for loving and taking such good care of him - please stay in touch with Mom (Aunt Pauline Alexander) and me.
Love you,
Katy Alexander (cousin)

Sincere Sympathies to Charlie's family. The picture I submitted is close to the way I remember him, as the only time I met my cousin was in 1963. This picture is of his father Forest, mother Helen, sisters Brenda and Sherri (Adams) and Aunt Dorothy. I pulled this out of one of Aunt Dorothy's photo albums that I inherited. I always hoped to meet Charlie again and I hear that he truly wanted to be at our 1st Finkbeiner Cousin's reunion a few years back - but he got sick prior to that gathering and we sure missed seeing him! It sounds like he had the passion for life along with a sense of humor and compassion that seems to run true in the Finkbeiner men I've known.

Shocked, saddened and dare I say, personally depressed, to hear of the loss of a wonderful physician and a real mensch. As I always had a book with me while waiting in the examination room, once he appeared we would usually have a brief (he was a very busy doctor), often profound conversation on whatever subject was entailed in that book. I will miss him very much. Heartfelt condolences to Dr. Wolpe and all his loved ones.

Words cannot express the sadness we felt upon learning of the loss of Charles, my dear, trusted physician for more than a decade. Would that our relation could have lasted decades more.
Mona, please accept our heartfelt condolences. We hold you closely in our thoughts and prayers.

I was shocked and devastated to hear about Charles. He was a superb physician with a wonderful sense of humor--a true intellectual who enjoyed music and the arts.
