Charlie was like a father to me.

Helped to raise me and bounced me on his knee.

He helped me be who I am today,

Now he watches from the heavens above and says,

Look at her now, look at who she is, making dreams come true and fulfilling all her wishes.



Thank you Charlie, for all that you have done.

Goodbye my friend, thanks for all your love.

You are always in my heart, I'll miss you everyday.

You were there from the start and it's hard to have you go away.

Love me later and I'll love you more.

See you later, I know that for sure.



Watch over me forever and ever,

I'll miss you always but never.

Knowing you're still there, knowing you still care.

Thank you and I love you Charlie.

Love from your Taradactyl, that's me.

I remember Charlie:

Early morning riser; lover of country music; fellow fisherman; we will dearly miss you. The fish at Big Lake, Deep Lake, Pinedale Res., Hoover Lake, Strawberry Res., and Yuba Res. can now rest a little easier. I hope there is fishing where you are.

Dear Charlie, you were such a good friend so many years ago. You were never forgotten. We feel sad that we lost touch and now you are gone. I hope you can hear our thoughts that we loved and cared for you very much. Thanks for all the good times over at Jerels and of course at the trailer. I still remember your little dogs. I am sorry you are gone but hope you are in a better place and that you are at peace and happy.
