To Charles Wayne's family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Although Charles Wayne and I hadn't seen each other for a few years, I've known him since we were in 8th grade. Being his Facebook friend kept me up on things somewhat. He was a great guy who will be missed.

Was so sorry to hear the death of a friend i met when he was at Imperial Bank in Lakeland,Florida many years ago. Chuck was a man of such character and easy to get to know. I remember him and his Corvette, all the large black bass he had caught and had them stuffed and hung on the wall behind his chair and desk at Imperial Bank of Lakeland, him being referred to Elvis Presley in looks somewhat. Thank you Chuck for all you did for me some 35-40 years ago. As a person, a friend, a caring man i will never forget you. May you Rest In Peace my friend. Although we lost touch over the years, i will always remember picking cherry tomatoes with you in your bankers suit in the field after you came from Imperial Bank to work right along side everyone else you hired to do the job. Words can't express my gratitude for the man you were, the man who took it upon himself to help others, me being one of them. May God bless you and keep you in his care.

Sandy, I will always remember the good times, and the "get-togethers" at your home in Florida. You and Chuck were the epitome of Quality people of Integrity. He was a great boss in the mortgage business, and a true mentor. His legacy will serve to be a road map for my future endeavors ! He was a brilliant and talented man...Thank you for augmenting those qualities! I feel a though a part of me is missing...but heaven has gained a "pearl of great price"...
