My heart goes out to the people Charlie left behind on this trip. Such an animated and truly caring person like Charlie will be missed by all who had the opportunity to meet him. And what a wonderful idea it is to recognize the nurses as a memorial for him.

To Charlie's family,

I worked for Charlie for many years;
first in Albany Gas then in Schenectady gas.
We had alot of laughs and good times.
Especially at the Yankee games and the Giant games.
I'll always remember his good humor and his sense of fair play in discussing company/union problems.
Charlie kept the problems "in the office".
May he rest in peace.
