Hi my name is Charles M. Chalut, he was my namesake. I never met him because I was born in 2007 but according to my Grandmother i'm just like him. We look alike, we're both avid golfers, we even talk alike, we even have the same name. Gigi has a picture of me in her room of me next to his tombstone. I just want to say I admire him, I'm sad I never got to meet him but I know someday I will and I hope he's proud of me.

Mr. O'Laughlin had much to be proud of with his law career and his family. We know that he will be missed by all that knew him. Our prayers are with his wife, his oldest son and our brother-in-law, Dr. Charles O'Laughlin, Jr., and the rest of his family.

It was my pleasure to work for Mr. O'Laughlin in the Corporate Dept. at Jenner many years ago. He was a true gentleman and one of last remaining genteel practitioners of law. He was very kind to me and my daughter, Cheryl. We believe he is golfing in Heaven, now. I send my condolences to his wife and children whom he loved dearly and will keep CJO and all of you in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Karen Madsen-Johnson
