I worked with Charlie in DuPont Power Services. He was a great manager of his power equipment area and was well thought of by all that knew him there.

I have very fond childhood memories of spending time with my Uncle Charlie and Aunt Grace. Uncle Charlie was a special, kind man and I always enjoyed the time I spent with him. Sending prayers to Charles, Debbie, and the entire family.
