I met Charlie and Mary through my brother, Dean. I didn't spend a lot of time with Charlie, it was "quality" time! I felt like I knew him forever because he was refreshingly "present" in any situation and had a natural gift for making people feel special. He was a blessing to his family and friends. His bright spirit will provide comfort, hope and inspiration to all who knew him.
Charlie and I were close friends in High School.. We were together many weekends raising hell and having good clean fun. It was so great to see him at our 50th class reunion last year.. My prayers go out to his family.
