My sympathy goes to Donna and the entire family. Charlie was a great, caring person whom I was fortunate enough to get to know and work with while at 3M. He was always sincerely interested in how things were going and offered great advice. He will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family.
Sincerely,
Mark Layton

To Donna and Family, our sincere condolences to all of you. Charlie and you Donna brought a class act to 3M. Bob has often shared his respect for Charlie...both at work and over the many trips we shared. I will always treasure the picture of Charlie and I boarding the company plane back for Wonewok like it was yesterday. We will always remember the fun and laughter we shared over the years.

It has been a long time since we were together at Wonewok playing golf, shopping, dining and dancing etc.. You and Charlie were such a handsome couple, wonderful hosts and so nice to be with. I have an ache in my heart for you and your family. Aren't you lucky to have had such a good, good man. Take care of yourself Donna, and God Bless You.

I'll never forget Mr. C. dropping those fire crackers in the fire pit and laughing his butt off when the darn thing fell apart. Always a kind big man with even a bigger heart. May his infectious laugh and smile live on forever! Long live Charlie!

To The Crocketts --
Words are hard to come by at this time. Know that our prayers and love are with all of you during this very difficult time; know also that CPC has left an incredible legacy, not only with you, but also with his 3M AAD Family as well. I had the privilege and honor of working with and for Charlie for the vast majority of my 3M Career. He was so much more than a Colleague and Boss to me; he was my mentor, my dear friend and in many ways, my older brother. I will miss him greatly, as I know you all will and many others.
Donna -- you have been everything to Charlie -- his confidant, his partner, his best friend, his wife, the mother of his children....and you excelled in all those roles. His love and respect for you have been all-encompassing and obvious to all.
Jeff, Andrew and David -- CPC was so proud of you and loved you as much as any Dad can love his children. You all are his legacy now.
God be with you and may His Love surround and comfort you.
We love and support you all. See you Saturday.

I'm so sorry for your Loss. Even though I have only been in the company of Charlie a few times, he certainly was a great person to have a conversation with, tell a joke and he was always very interested in others. He was a good friend to my parents and they will never forget him. Take care.

Dear dad,

I am honored to have been one of your three sons and I will miss you more than words can describe. I will always love you and I will think of you everyday for the rest of my life. I'm having a hard time knowing you won't be there when I stop by. You were indeed a wonderful role model and inspiration in my life. I will miss your unconditional love, advice, your warm smile and the times we shared together. Please watch over mom all the days of her life. She misses you immensely. We will meet again someday and with that I bid you farewell for now. Your loving son.
