Wow, I worked with Charlie back at the start of my career in 1986 or so. Charlie was a kind heart and I fondly remember by 6 years with Charlie, Roger and the whole team. God Speed Charlie and Rest in peace.

My sincere sympathy to all. I knew Mr. Barefoot through Carolina Medical years ago. Not many people realize the contributions he made to medicine. He was a wonderful and caring man.

Mr Barefoot was a wonderfully kind man who generously gave to others. My family was blessed to know him over many years. What an amazing blessing to have lived his life with his beautiful wife and a testament to being kind, thoughtful and giving. Our family will miss him dearly. My mom enjoyed talking with him and enjoying the spoils of his fishing exploits! Mi Suk Decker and family (neighbors across the street) Our condolences and sympathies.
