So very sorry for the loss of your loved one.
Marty and I were very saddened to hear the news. Charles was always very sweet to us and a good neighbor. I know he contributed a lot to our community, especially some of the beautiful trees on our street. Your family is in our thoughts for sure.
Such a sweet man! Heartbroken for your loss.
Happy Father’s Day, God. Take care of Charlie
Many prayers for the loss of such a great man. Always smiling, such a sweet soul. Prayers to the entire family during this time.
God Bless Charlie
We haven’t seen him in several years and just learned today of his passing. He was our next door neighbor for 10 years. It was our first home, we were clueless and couldn’t have asked for a better neighbor. It was like having your dad next door. Charlie taught us so much, shared his bounty from the garden and was always willing to help with our feeble attempts at home maintenance. He would just shake his head and laugh, then teach us how to do it. What a guy!! What a smile!! One in a million!!
Our sincere condolences.
