Charlie's long life in the law was full of the acomplishments that have earned him a honored place in the history of the District of Columbia. A thoughtful friend and a generous mentor, he carried himself with an understated elegance to which many aspire but few achieve. I celebrate the life and mourn the passing of this wonderful man who it was my honor to know.
