Condolances to Bruce and Family. We met your dad through Eastern Star even before we met you. He was indeed a Gentleman and lived up to his title as a Mason. We remember many times enjoying his company.
Dear .Brother. Bruce and family…Although we never met your Dad, we know he must have been a wonderful man, because only such a man could have raised such a honorable man as you… With profound sympathy & respect, Fraternally, Susan, Tom & Tommy Sulier
I worked with Charlie many years ago in the .web shop.-United Elastic on Front Avenue in West Haven. He was a very nice person and I am sorry to read of his demise but it looks like he lived a full life.
