| We have many fond memories of Charlie while we attended St. Andrew's. Our son, Jason, was an acolyte for 10 years, and Charlie was a great mentor to Jason as well as the other acolytes. |

| I fell in love with this man, just as I did his son Larry, for his morals, affirmations, never-ending kindness, and loyalty. I did not know Charlie long, but he marked my heart with so much love and grace. I am very proud to have had the opportunity to have the time we did, to talk and learn about each other and our families. I feel very honored. My heart goes out to all of his family, filled full of love and kind thoughts. He was a wonderful and blessed man. |
