Rest in peace. Prayers to you, your family, friends and loved ones.
Rest easy Charlie, No more pain, No more medication, No more struggle, No more hoses to deal with or tanks, concentrators that hardship is behind you. You are now free from the weight of this worlds devices. I never got to meet you when you were 100 percent. But I could tell from your personality all those things only held you down. You were always a good man. You were always there for your family. You were the epitome of a family man with a wonderful sense of humor. Its hard for us to say goodbye but that is our struggle. But such is the legacy of a man that lived his life right. Rest easy in knowing you have added and built to the foundation of a beautiful family and know that you brightened the lives that you came in contact with. I believe that is what a good life is all about…..Til we meet again yours truly, Shrek
Baba.. the most wonderful dad i could have ever asked for. You were my rock. There aren’t enough words to show my appreciation for everything you’ve ever done to help and care for this family. I know you’re finally at peace without any pain. Your body may be gone, but your personality and spirit are in all of your kids and grandson. There will forever be a void in my life, but I’m so proud to call myself your daughter.
I remember the first day I met you, we ate Subway and talked all about me…we talked about religion, music, why i like Fadi , and how lettuce ruined the whole sandwich. We talked about everything, or i listened to you talk about everything, which i was more than happy to do. you’ve always been so patient with me and my social anxiety. you made me feel comfortable and most importantly you made me feel like family. I will always look at you as if you were another grandpa to me. I always admired your sense of humor or how positive you always were no matter the situation, or the way you tried your hardest to make me talk to you, i always looked forward to getting some alcohol in me just to sit down and have a conversation with you, with no anxiety. i remember we talked about life, and love, and just the most random things but i wouldn’t trade those conversations for the world. i will always remember the few times we had real, one on one conversations, they meant everything to me. you were a great man that your whole family looked up to, including me. your positivity, no matter the situation is inspiring and contagious. i will always remember you and our conversations, our high fives, and hugs, until we meet again just know you meant more to me than you’d ever know. thank you for everything, every high five, every hug, every drunken conversation, every word of advice, and most importantly thank you for making me feel like family, despite my social anxiety. i wish i would’ve been able to say more to you, but i always listened. i feel at peace knowing you’re no longer suffering, physically you may be gone, but your spirit will live forever.
Papa where do I start? For the past week I’ve been trying to gather my thoughts and feelings and try to process what’s going on. It still doesn’t feel real. You were my best friend, my financial advisor, my therapist, my mentor and so much more but the one thing I needed the most was a father and that’s what you became. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be the man I am today. You’ve taught me so much and still had plenty more knowledge to give but it’s ok…you’re not in pain now. I’d trade anything to have you back but I know it’s best to let you be free. You gave me my work ethic, my charm, my respect, my sense of responsibility and once again, so much more. We’ve spent countless of hours together. From the long days at the gas station and properties to secret lunches to go sneak some hot wings in at the pub down the street, I’m appreciative for every second of it. I’m also forever grateful that you treated Sammie so well. You and her had a bond that brought a smile to my face. You were an amazing person and I’m sad to see you go but you’ll forever be my right hand man. I miss you and love you.
