Dearest Karen and girls. I wish I could have found out of the loss of Charlies, Dad, Uncle, Grandpa and dear friend sooner. I found out Monday, the source was not posititve. I wish I could have been supporting and with you during the first days of your loss. I'm sending this now to my parents in Ca. I'm sure they don't know. All the Simosonson's, Friedman's and Lord's are supporting you from the bottom of our heart. Love to all the family.

Dear Bobby, Ronny and Marcy -
I was so sorry to hear the news yesterday about Chuck's passing. He was a wonderful man, fun to be with, and had a heart of gold. I will never forget the great times our families had together when you would visit us in California and when you invited me to stay with you so that I could attend day camp with Ronny.
Chuck will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
With heartfelt condolences,
