Marie and family,

we were so sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. He was a very fine gentlemen and we always enjoyed being with you two. Feel badly about being out of town and not able to honor his memory. He certainly left a wonderful family for the world to enjoy. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Fond memories of Charlie his beloved family. Charlie and Marie and my parents - Walt and Dorothy Matthews - were friends over many years and our families shared Memorial Day get-togethers for many years. I remember Charlie as a kind, giving, and humble man. I last saw him about 2 years ago, when my father and I enjoyed lunch with he and Marie in Chesterfield. My condolences to Marie, Jeannie, Wayne, Dan, and Dale.
