I’m so sorry to hear about Charlie being gone. We have known each other since our young teen years and I always loved  Charlie. Such a sweet funny guy with a soft  and caring heart. I’m sure the other Angels are loving him just as we did. Thinking of you Charlie and your loved ones left behind.  God Bless You thank you for  being  part  of my  life. Great Memories 

I remember when Nashville Striders would meet at Rotiers after running in Centennial Park each Wednesday (or Tuesday).  There would be at least 20 of us and I once counted 43.  We would occupy the back of the dining room and would be served (and humorously abused) by Paula.  Once time the TV on the back wall was a little loud and I reached up and turned the volume down.  Before we knew it the volume was back up and I turned it down again and this was mysteriously repeated a couple of more times.   I then happened to glance toward the front of the restaurant and Charlie was standing there laughing with another patron while holding the remote to that TV.  Charlie was an institution in an institution.  I miss him and all of his family and the rest of the team at Rotiers.

I’ve only just learned of, and am saddened by, Charlie’s passing. We met years ago in a mandatory driving class. During the film we were required to watch, Charlie would mutter under his breath hilarious one liners so fast we barely had time to recover between them. I never had a better time during a class.
 My thoughts and prayers for strength and comfort go out to his loved ones. 

I just learned a few days ago. My favourite restaurant closed and Charley Rotier passed away. I ate there hundreds of times. I think Margaret poured my coffee before I sat down. I didn't need a menu. Their special was always excellent. They had the best desert , ice cream and cake. I asked Charley why it wasn't on the menu. He said they didn't want to be a soda (desert) place; funny Perhaps they will find a new location. 

My name is Walter mabe Charlie and i were very good friends. I met Charlie when i worked at the car wash across the street. I’m so sad for your loss.i was born in 1952 also.my heart is so broken . I just found about it today on the news. My heart goes out to Charlie and the entire family. Walter mabe

I’m so sorry to hear about this. I went to Christ the King w Charlie and live one street over. He was a character. My prayers are with his family. 

I just found out about Charlie’s passing. I will always remember all of the good times had at Rotiers with friends and family.  When you went to pay your bill Charlie would look at your check and how he read the scribbled orders I don’t know . We just figured he charged whatever and we paid in cash until he finally accepted credit cards.  Rest In Peace .

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I have many good memories with big Charley and little Charley, as she and I were close friends for years. Keeping the entire family in my prayers!

I met Charlie in a fist-fight, being the new kid in the neighborhood;  arrested together on Spring Break for underage drinking; stuck on top of a mountain 4-wheeling and numerous other adventures, good and bad, but we survived... Charlie always had that great laugh, flashing smile and would literally give you the shirt off of his back.... a great man indeed, go with God my friend.

Heartfelt sympathy to the entire Rotier’s family.  Has been our favorite restaurant  for years.  Wonderful memories of Charlie growing up. Always a kind young man.

Our condolences, thoughts and prayers are with the entire Rotier family.  Two generations of our family and so many friends all always looked forward to be a welcomed guest at Rotiers.    With deepest sympathies,  sincerely yours, 
Mark B. Frost & Family 





“Charlie” was an iconic figure in the Nashville restaurant scene, particularly with his “Irish” clientele. Across the street from the now gone Father Ryan High School, Charlie’s second home, Rotiers,  was a destination for after school, weekend and pre-game food and beverage activity for many years. Always having a bending ear, Charlie was a down-to-earth figure who only asked for fairness and the simple pleasures of life - nothing more; nothing less. While sometimes succumbing to his (and ours) baby boomer weaknesses, he was a friend to those who sought his genuine friendship. While his life’s ending was shrouded in inequity, he will always be remembered for his stature as a man, a person and a larger-than life personification. RIP guy.

My Prayers and Thoughts go out to Charlie’s Family.   I have known the Rotier Family since I was 5 Years old sitting on a coke crate outside in the back of the Restaurant.  My Dad, Mr John Rotier and many friends used to gather on Sundays in the back outside before the addition of the Restaurant was completed.  Charlie’s Father, Mother, Brother, and Sister are All Great People
Used to take My Son to Patsy&Fayes on Hillsboro Village where Charlie worked at the time so He could cut my Son’s hair. Charlie has always treated Me and I know others with True Friendship and Respect
This Family is truly a Landmark in this City
Charlie Rest In Peace 

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. 

Charley was always so kind to me - whether at the restaurant or when he’d go out of his way to say hi to me while I was lifeguarding at Sequoia Swim Club. His smile and spirit were contagious. Rest In Peace.

Walter Southwood and the Southwood Family

My prayers are with you all n the entire family and I love. Yall with all my heart from me and my family.
                                Love always,
              The Howse and Smelley family
