Charlie always made me laugh when I was around him, I remembering watching Jeepers Creepers with Talena and him one time and being so scared, he thought is was halarious that I was so scared over a stupid movie and he tried to make it funny for me instead. He was a very caring person and great Dad to my long time friend! We will miss you Charlie!
I love you Charlie! You were the big brother I didn’t have in my life and a great friend! Thank you for blessing my life with your beauty and fun!
We’re thinking of you, Talena. Tom and Jeanine
I worked with Charlie over 25 years. We used to sit and share the challenges we were dealing with, new ideas, stories about ourselves and some of the antics we got into in life, laughing the time away when we had a few minutes in the day. He was a great friend. I loved to hear his laughter. Walking around a building I could hear his wonderful laughter and it put a smile on my face. Now this Shamanistic healer who was always available to help anyone wherever he could, his joyful spirit will remain with each of us. I know how much he loved his precious family because he would talk about them daily. He was devoted to them.
RIP my friend.
