Hello Finlon Family,
I just heard last night that Charlie died. I was one of the paramedics that worked with him at Engine 64. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know he was so proud of his family, and now I see he was also blessed with daughter-in-laws and numerous grand and great grandchildren. He was one of my favorite guys to work with. May he rest in peace. Doreen DiSilvestro Chambers

I am sorry to hear about Charlie's passing. I was a fireman with him at T31. I still can remember him and his sons playing racquetball together at the firehouse. May he rest in peace.

I am so terribly sorry for the passing of Charles. In God's righteous new world, we will be delivered where “the creation itself also will be set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of God.”—Romans 8:21.
