Charlie, was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He always put a smile on my face. My grandmother also loved Charlie. Me and Charlie both shared a love for music. I would play my drums for him when he came over,because it brought him so much joy. His presence in the town in which he loved,"Loves Park" will be missed for ever.

Back in 1963 or 1964, I had the pleasure of becoming one of Chuck's friends. We rode our bikes everywhere.. We talked about everything.. We never thought of this thing called Death as something that was going to happen to any of us. I'll always remember how we did pretty much everything we wanted!
That was so many years ago...
Well Chuck, You passed on before me. I hope its been a good life for you my friend! I hope your passing on Christmas Day reminds all of us of how Special we all are! Time will not fill the emptiness of your absents, But memories can help! Thank's for the ones I have!!! Terry Carl
