  1. Beth Words cannot express the sorrow felt for the great loss you and the family are experiencing. God must have found a very special place for him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  2. Charles was one of those unique individuals who come into your life only once. He could light up a room with his smile and it was impossible not to like Charles. He was incredibly intelligent, unbelievably witty and committed to his goals. I consider it an honor to have known and spent time with Charles, even though that time was far too brief. Charles was always the shining star and I comfort myself with the thought that now he is shining down on all of us. We will truly miss him but his spirit will live on.

  7. In the wake of such a great loss, we are haunted by things we don’t, and may never understand. But instead of trying to make sense of something that is so unfair, I’ve been taking some comfort in memories of a man who created an atmosphere that everyone enjoyed, just by his mere presence. He was smart, caring, charming and downright funny. Charles had this way about him that touched so many and the everlasting memories of him is what will keep a lot of us going. He was a great friend and I will miss him more than I could ever put into words. Charles will always be in my heart.

  8. My condolences to all who knew Charles – he was a great guy – I worked with him at W & D – he was smart, fun and witty and helped me so many times – before his illness got the better of him – a group of us would get together and have lunch at least once a week – a time I will always treasure – he was a special person and he will be sorely missed

  9. My deepest sympathy to your family. Charles was an incredible person who always made me laugh with his sense of humor and honesty. I take comfort in knowing that he will be the brightest star shining down on all of us.
