Dear Natalie.
Our deepest condolences to you and your family. Charlie was one of my first friends when Cyndy and I moved to Hanover in 1988.
For the next 20 years we were active, weekly tennis players at the Norwich Racquet Club and the Boss Arena.

Charlie, was a model for me and so many others in his life I am sure for his ethics, talent, modesty, and kindness. Our friendship and time spent together was a very special gift, particularly as I was beginning this new phase of my life. It was truly an honor and pleasure to spend time together.

May you be comforted by your long marriage and wonderful family which he frequently spoke fondly of.

With love and God's peace,
Bill and Cyndy Bittinger

I knew Charlie from working with him at Hypertherm. I always enjoyed talking with Charlie as he always had interesting things to say and stories to tell. I had a great deal of respect for Charlie. My thoughts go out to his family.

Charlie hired me in 1996 when I joined the Hypertherm family. He was always available and easy to approach. I wish I had had more time with him. My sincerest sympathies to his family.

I came from bartending to applying at Hypertherm; Charlie interviewing. There was a position in the machine shop, and I told him I could do it and would appreciate a shot at it. He gave me a shot. Twenty-eight years later I retired! Thank you (again) Charlie...for a chance-

Charlie wasn't just a colleague to me. He was a neighbor and he and his family helped us settle in to our home in Hanover Center before I worked at Hypertherm. As a colleague Charlie was often quiet and stoic, but his door was always open to me for questions and he gave solid advice when asked. His wife Natalie was my son's first supervisor and instrumental in supporting my son in his first job at Howe Library. His daughters even babysat my son when he was young. I'm sorry we lost touch, but I always appreciated Charlie's and his families' kindness at a difficult time in my life. My condolences to Natalie and family.
