We are miss Charles very much. He touched our lives in so many ways. Delores and all of Charles's family will always be welcome in our Century 21 Award family. What an amazing person. He has left his earth-suit but his Spirit is live in all our hearts

So sorry to read about the passing of a wonderful man and dentist to our family for so many years.

Chuck had a great sense of humor and made us laugh when he was drilling or filling our teeth. And a great smile and the twinkle in his eyes.

God bless to all of his family.

Dear Mrs. D'Andrea, Debbie and All --
Many years have passed since we were in touch. I have countless happy memories of growing up with Debbie, Joanne (Fletcher) Ellis and the All Hallows gang. Please accept our heartfelt prayers, love and sympathy as you lay your beloved husband/father to rest. He was a remarkable man, now with Our Lord in Heaven. May Faith Family and Friends sustain you. The Hughes Family sends all our love,

Dear Grandma and family,
Knowing that Grandpa is in peace I think abut how wonderful of a heart he had and how much he loved his family. He has left me with much joy to look at this world with God's presence and grace. I know Grandpa is telling all his jokes to all the angels and Grandpa has left a wonderful smile in my heart knowing he is where we all wish to be someday when God is ready to take us to be with Him. Grandma, especially, you hold most of his memories in your heart and I pray and think about you each day.
Love,
Mike, Susan, and Clare

Dear, dear Delores and your wonderful Candy, Pam and Debbie.

This is from Charley and Gloria to tell you we don't know how hard it must be to loose Dad, but we do know that he is in Heaven and out of all pain now.
Chuck's favorite Saint Joseph was there to welcome him aboard. And then his devotion to the Blessed Mother has won him a place near Her.
We pray for your comfort in these days ahead.
Love,
Charley and Gloria Melville
