My condolences and prayers for the family of Charlie. I worked at AMC and although I only knew Charlie for less than a year, he made a lasting impression on me. We struck a chord though ice hockey. It was always good trading hockey rink stories with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Words can't quite describe the loss we're feeling. I had the privilege of hiring Charlie 21 years ago and being his direct manager for most of his AMC career. He was a friend to many, a colleague, and one of a kind. His loss leaves a large hole in our hearts.

I've worked with Charlie for 21 years. He was always a great help to me but more than that, I've enjoyed his sense of humor, his sarcasm and his friendship. The world isn't the same without him in it. My deepest condolences to his family-I am truly sorry for your loss.

You were a great friend and colleague. I'll miss our many talks, laughs, and yes - arguments. Going to meetings will never be the same without having you whispering jokes in my ear. Thank you for everything Charlie. I will never forget you and your sense of humor. Kathie teRiele
