Charles was loved, good-hearted, and well-respected. He loved his family and meeting new people. He was very generous around those he knew, always willing to help you out, and would always “secretly” pick up the tab. The price of having a good time did not matter to him. He was always ready for the next adventure. He was a good man, and his passing leaves a gaping hole in our hearts.
