Charles: I'm begining to feel the hurt of not having you around. You
definitely had a heart of gold. I look at your picture everyday now and think of the early years. It
seems I have more to tell you now than when you where here. Thanks for being you. By the way, say hell-o to your brother Vincent and Mom & Dad. Tell them that we watched over you the best we could, just liked they asked us to.
Love your brother John

Charlie continued to live at Kelly-Carroll for some time after I bought it in 1987. He was a likable and kind person. I am terribly sorry to hear of his sudden death and extend my prayers to the Minich Family.

Dear John and Family,
I was so sorry hear about Charlie, I know that Vince will be waiting for him with open arms. I am writing this message on a day which is both sad and happy ...today (17Nov07) is my Vincent's birthday he is 12, so this is always a day when I think about Vince and the Minich family. I wish I could be there for the service, but I'm still in Vegas.
Your friend allways,Michael Kerr
