Barb & family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy to you. I just heard yesterday of Jim's passing via Linda to my parents. You and your family were a big part of my childhood memories. I still remember visiting everyone, even though it's been so many years since our families got together.
Take care and keep your memories close to your hearts.

To the Charles Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I've seen Jim a number of times over the years since leaving the old neighborhood. The one thing I will always remember is that I never saw him without a huge smile on his face and laughter in his voice. He was certainly a memorable guy. My deepest sympathies.

If ever a person personified honor, admiration and integrity, it was Jim Charles. Jim's presence radiated an aura of profound worthiness. His charm & personality were definitely his strengths. If ever a Saint walked among us, it was he.

Charles family,
my sympathy to all of you. Jim was always a person that I looked up to as a mentor in our business and as a person. He not only cared about getting the job done but truely cared about who he did the work for. I was just a kid when I started doing business with Jim and he always treated me with great respect right from the start. No matter how hard the job was Jim was always there to get it done and never had an unkind word about anyone. He will always be in my memories.

Charles Family,
I remember, in the 1960's, when "Jimmy" worked with my grandfather (Zappa Excavating). I was 5 or 6 yrs old and staying with my grandparents. Jimmy came in the house and I thought he was the greatest thing next to sliced bread. My grandfather knew that I was smitten (I got very quiet). Grandpa said, "Do you want to give Jimmy a hug?" Jimmy gave me one of his famous smiles and held out his arms. I think the sun will be a little brighter with Jimmy smiling down.
