We were both classmates of Charlie and remember those fun-filled high school days. Jerry visited with Charlie some time ago when he was at Al’s house – Al has been our neighbor for many years. Our hearts go out to Cindy, Charlie’s wife and his children. I don’t know how old Charlie’s children are, but he will be missed by them no matter how old and thankful for all the good memories. Take Care & know others care and are keeping you and your family in our prayers.
