I KNOW you will be missed Charlie but I sure hope you are in a BETTER place if that is possible where there is no disease.

To all the Gibson Family:
I am saddened to hear of the death of Charlie. I am also glad I was able to spend a few moments talking with him at the 15th Feast this past summer.
The ranks of the old 7th Ward are getting thinner with each passing day.
Thank God for all the memories

Kay and the Gibson Family,
I hate to admit to how many years I go back with Charlie.
We met early in his career at the Press and we were good friends all through his career at the Press and long after.
Over the years things changed and doing business with the Press became difficult. I often told him that his assistance and sage advise made doing business with the Press tolerable.
I have lost a good friend!
My condolences to you all.
