Dear Wilscam family members,
I was very sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. I will always remember his kindness in starting me down the path to a career in business and marketing, when he took me on as a marketer at Wilscam, Mullins, & Birge in the late 1970's. His calm, steadfast dedication to the highest levels of honesty and integrity served as a model for me over the past 35 years. He was a great family friend and his loss is deeply felt. My sincere and heartfelt sympathies go out to all of his family.
With deepest regards,
Kent Burkholder

Dear family of Charlie,
I was sorry to learn of the loss of your father/grandfather/brother.
It seems like it was almost on "the heel" of your losing your mother/grandfather/sister-in-law. My sympathy, Sue Smith

To family and friends of Charlie,
I would like to express my deepest sympathies for the passing of Charlie. I worked with Charlie during my time at RDG Planning and Design.(1998-2006) While I was there, he was a great mentor and personal friend of mine. He hosted a special post wedding reception for my wife and I in 2000 at his home. In addition, his wife Bev made bibs for all of my kids (4 of them)...even our last girl born in 2007 after I had already left RDG. Charlie is one of the few honorable men who truly exemplified integrity, respect, and trust. I am honored to have known him.
Deepest Sympathies,
Brad Behne
