Charlie was always the happy go lucky guy. Even though I never met him in person, you knew he was always smiling when talking to him on the phone.
To his new wife who he was deeply in love with and to all of his family and friends, I would like to offer my deepest sympathy and condolences.

Although I never knew Charles I offer my deepest sympathy. I knew Karina but never had the pleasure of meeting Charles. I can only go on what Karina told me about him. And from that I can only feel that the world is not as nice of a place today as it was yesterday. God Bless to all who feel this loss. Luvya Karina
