I always looked up to Charlie so much. He was one of the handsomest guys at Rineyville High School but more than that one of the nicest too! He was just a really good guy and a great mechanic. Very gifted i was so pleased when he and dear Karin got together. I love them both so much, I am so sad for her and the entire family. Love Carol Sue Preston Moll
