May the God of all comfort give you peace during this most difficult time.

I didn't know Charlie well, but had the pleasure of playing music with him several times at Tir na nOg. What I did know about Charlie was that he was a fine musician with a kind and gentle spirit. A wonderful combination.

Dottie, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear husband. I know he was a special man. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dottie-I'm so sorry for your loss.  I know it's tough for you to deal with now, but hopefully with memories, faith, and courage you can heal. I will be praying for you during this difficult time.

Charlie was a generous person, talented musician, and strong leader. I had the privilege to work with Charlie as he served on the Board of Directors for PineCone (the Piedmont Council of Traditional Music), for which I serve as director. Among other traditions, Charlie loved "the blues." I could always count on Charlie to recommend top-notch blues musicians to book for PineCone programs. Charlie was himself a fine exemplar of the finger-picked blues technique that was unique to the Carolina Piedmont region, and we roped him into several guitar workshops / demos over the years. He had a gentle, patient, and approachable style of teaching, and always did a great job of conveying the historical and cultural significance of the music he played. He was a gifted teacher. He was also a strong leader. While serving as an officer on the Board of Directors, Charlie helped lead the organization through a national economic recession. Thanks to his leadership and personal commitment, PineCone remains a thriving organization today. While I could never properly convey my sincere appreciation for Charlie's support over the years, I can do my best to honor his commitment by keeping the music he loved so dearly alive and well. On behalf of PineCone and the entire Piedmont music community, I thank you Charlie. We love you.

Brad and I are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers have been with you for several months as you all battled cancer together with Charlie. And, our thoughts and prayers are certainly with you all now as you deal with the grief of his death. We have both lost fathers to cancer, so we know the pain and emptiness you feel. Please cherish your memories and remember the good times you had with him. That will become easier with time.

 Dottie, you and your family have my deepest sympathy.. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

How lucky I was to have shared a dorm suite with Chip for two years at BU!  His incredible music enriched our lives everyday.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I just got the very sad news. Charlie was a gem of a person and a fine musician. I could always count on Charlie to play a few tunes that we learned together and which I'll always associate with him. The world needs more like Charlie!

So very sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. I worked for him at Healthsource years ago. He was a very kind man.  I am sure he was a wonderful family man.
