I can't believe Charlie's gone. He'll always be in my heart. We were friends for a while. Sadly, I moved to Nevada a few months ago and just got the news. I'm so sorry for his family. They loved him. I loved him and I will greatly miss him.

I just got news of Charlie about an hour ago. I am shocked and my deepest sympathy is with his entire family. Charlie was one of my students last year at Oak Forest and he really made a difference in my teaching career. He will always be in my heart and he will be missed very much.

Fly with angels now Charlie

I will miss his smile and his ears. It was like watching Charlie Sr. grow up all over again. Everytime he walked into the room my mothers eyes lit up.
