I know Charlie will be missed as evidenced by the Memorial Service yesterday.Although I only knew him 55 years, there were many memories. Especially the trip to Spain and the trips to Tampa. God Bless, Dale

Charlie was a dear friend of mine and was in my wedding party in the 70's. We were pals from high school and the South Shore neighborhood. His brother and sister worked for me at Draper and Kramer when they were young. My prayers are with you at this time.

Dear Paula,

Charlie will be missed. He was the key behind the OLP/Jug girlfriend reunions. I have such great memories of staying at his home in Marco. Thank you Charlie and I wish peace to your family.
