Charlie was a great neighbor and a great example of what it meant to be a child of God. More than once he has come to me and my families "rescue". On weekends or in the middle of the night, it didn't matter... if you needed him, he was there. I will miss you old man. Enjoy your new home with the Lord and i will see you in Heaven one day soon! God Bless all the family.
