Charlie,Don and Family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Your Dad was one of my favorite mentors in the Feed Sales Office. I have such wonderful memories of him from our days at Agway! You are all in my thoughts and prayers...

So sorry to hear of your dads passing. We had some great times together at Agway. He was one of the good guys.

Charlie will always be remembered with such fond memories. After he retired from Agway, he needed something to keep him busy -- I was lucky enough to be able to fill that need and better still, lucky to get to know Charlie. The Nice and Easy was always so much nicer and easier to work at, when Charlie was there!

My deepest sympathy to Charlie and Don, your Dad will surely be missed. I remember him driving his new Ford Galaxy down to Crispy Gardens, smoking his pipe and bragging about the Pittsburg Steelers....
