From Bill, you truly blessed my life by being my friend. I'll always remember you in my heart. From Linda "Bubbles" and Jim, you were more than a manager to us, you were our dear friend, we were thankful that you came into our life, even for the shortest time. We all will miss you. We love you. Charlie was laid to rest in his home state of Maryland. HODGES FAMILY FUNERAL HOME DADE CITY, FLA. (352) 567-0000 http://www.hodgesfuneralhome.com
