My most sincere condolences to the Garza family. It was a pleasure working with Charlie at Grainger several years back. He was always willing to help, talking (with lots of love) about his family and showing up at the Grainger McAllen branch with interesting stories about his work experience out in the sales field. Well be keeping Charlie and the Garza family in our hearts and minds forever. Beatriz (Bea) Gonzalez and family.

My condolences to His family!! Charlie taught me to grow-up as a man when I started to work at Grainger in the 90's. I was just 21 or 22 when I started at Grainger. To me he was a great Teacher and Leader!!! I appreciate what he showed me and taught me in those years that my father was not present for me. Although I moved on from Grainger, I would always praise he in my talks to other people, and gave him credit for part of who I am today. Thank You Charlie for everything My Friend!!! May you rest in peace Brother!!!

Charlie, say it isn't so.
My sincerest condolences to Charlie's family. I know he was a great Dad and husband, as he was a great human being. He was a special friend of mine, among a group of special friends I had in High School. Some of my most cherished memories from those times involved Charlie and his fun, warm, large personality. He was a great leader in FCA, and someone I feel blessed to have had as a friend.
I'll miss your presence on this earth Charlie. We're all approaching the ages now where anything can happen to any one of us at any time. We'll be crossing over at a greater frequency. So Godspeed to you, and be patient my friend, because the Party starts when we arrive - We're the Class of 85.
