Charlie was the nicest man ever. He was so good and generous to the students of Queen of Martyrs School. His smile took away all your worries and sadness. The best usher ever. A true example of what it meant to be a child of God. A great role model for all ages. May you rest in the loving arms of God ,Charlie.
Much Respect and Love,
