It was a great honor to have a man of such high integrity for an uncle. He was a man of character, with an infectious laugh, a great sense of humor, and a gentleman in every sense of the word. Our family will sorely miss him, but our memories will forever last. Farewell, Uncle Charles.

It was a pleasure to know Charles and to listen to him in English and Spanish whenever he visited Baltimore with Evelyn and treated us to dinner and to his humor and gentle wit.

Charles and I were best friends, TU classmates, and Pure Oil Co. co-workers 1948-50. We met several months ago for dinner and watched Saturday night fights and agreed to meet again when Evelyn returned from NY but we never did.

It proves the old addage "never put off until tomorrow..."

I shall miss him.
