Though my Roberta is now with Charles in Heaven, Charles was my precious friend too. During Roberta's 26 years at United Companies it was always a pleasure to see and visit with Charles. I will always remember our many visits and activities together, and how he always delightfully shared his great humor and friendship. Through the years I will always remember Charles, and still extend my condolences to all who loved him.

To the Myer Family,

Words alone cannot express our sympathy on the untimely death of your beloved husband, father, brother and friend. To say that his time with us was far too short is an understatement. The reality is that he will be sorely missed by all who loved and knew him.

No doubt the outpouring of sympathy you have received since his parting has been of some consolation. Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to you of how well-loved and liked he was.

I hope that you and your family will find peace and comfort in knowing that his suffering is over and that his just rewards await him.

May God bless you and your family.

Yours In Faith,

Brenda Gremillion & Brandon Myer

There are few times I can remember seeing Cho-Cho and he was not smiling. He has a certain charm and wit about him that was infectious. A laughter that was contagious and when he left you after talking with you, he left you with a smile on your face and laughter in your heart.

"God" get ready, you have called home your best jokester, he's will have you in stitches, but I don't have to tell you that, you already know about your child.

To Agnes, Jason and Preston, your husband/dad is hugging his Natalie right now and happy they are together. He is at peace and know that as time goes by a smile will be in your heart as you think of him.

To the Myer Family,

It will be odd not to see Mr. Cho riding his chair down the driveway and across the road. He was a great person. He and my grandpa, Avon are probably having a great conversation and having a good laugh. May God give you strength during your time of sorrow. May you always remember and cherish the wonderful times you had.

Upon graduating from high school I began working @ Sears in BR thanks to Cho Cho who gave me a ride every day along with Cecil and a couple of other friends. We had a great time and a lot of fun because with Cho Cho there was never a dull moment. I grew up on the Island, "down the road " from the Myer family; when everyone was considered family. My prayers are with the family. Bruno Antoine (Hammond)

Charlie was a good friend. He had a real gift for seeing the humor in all situations. He would always make you feel better and often made me laugh out loud. It was a privilege to be counted among his friends.
