Charlie and I endured Civics class by playing tic tac toe. Later on we were both UPS drivers and had lots of yuks.
He'll be missed.
RIP.

I offer prayers and condolences to Harriet and to Vince and the families. I cannot imagine Charlie without a smile opr grin. I treasure a picture of the Brothers Argento in fall of1962.
They were generating smiles while I was en route to San Diego to board ship.

Didn't get to see much of Charlie since he moved downtown, but will always remember his friendship and his famous saying "boom shock a locka" when he would "gin" (not very often though). He was a lot of fun to be with and Dee and I will miss him very much.

We will attempt to visit but if not able, Harriet, our thoughts are with you and your family.
