My deepest sympathy to the best neighbors anyone could ask for. I was so sad to hear of Charlie’s passing. He and I talked a few years ago about the grief of his losing Zackary, and my losing Casey. It really meant a lot to me to talk to someone who understood. Charlie was a good neighbor and a good man.
Love and prayers, Marianne Hite and family.
Geat guy, loving father to one of my buddy from school. May you rest in peace. Prayers for the family.
It is hard to believe that Charlie passed away. I just saw him a couple of weeks ago at Bob Evans Restaurant. You have Pam and My deepest condolences. He was a character for sure. I know you all will miss him as will so many others. God be with you at this time.
