I worked with Charlie at Royal Insurance for a number of years. Charlie was always pleasant and helpful ... he will be missed.

I was a friend with Charlie while we attended Kearny High School. I was 2 years older. We hung with a bunch of guys who like to bowl in the German Club and played cards at Gene Spicer's house. He was a happy guy and made others around him laugh and was genuinely liked by those that knew him. I am shocked by his passing. My deepest sympathy.

I'm sorry to hear about Charlie. I visited your father and Charlie a few years ago and brought them dinner from some local rib place. We had a good time in your father's apartment. May he rest in peace.
