This quiet, gentleman was humble about his accomplishments, but in death he is remembered by so many who have come forth to speak so well of him.
We will miss our husband, father, and grandfather, but we thank everyone who has expressed appreciation for Charlie and sorrow on his passing. We are forever thankful for your kind words of comfort and sympathy. They will go a long way as we attempt to heal from our great loss.
