Charlie was central to the regular gatherings in my home. I am so very grateful for all the wonderful times we shared cooking and carrying on in my kitchen. He brought warmth, love and laughter ... and cooked the greens, rice and chicken! I will always cherish the times we shared. I am a better person for having known him. My deepest sympathies to Charlie's extended family and to all who love him. May your memories help to heal your hearts.

Im so sorry for your loss. Pye was one of the best friends I had. He was almost like a big brother. I had not seen or talked to him in a while. However, he was always in my mind and I knew that whenever I saw him again it would be like we had never been out of touch. I had some good times with him and his memory will always be with me....
