Charlie Vaughn and his wife, Delores, were two of the sweetest people I ever met.  They were always friendly and made you feel very welcomed.  In my early 20's, I borrowed their large suitcase for a trip.  After arriving in Colorado, the outside locks were jammed and could only be opened with a screwdriver.  When returning to Cleveland, the handle was ripped off and you couldn't carry this suitcase.  Had to find a porter to transport this suitcase outside for passenger pick-up.  I was so furious that I stopped off at the baggage claim customer service.  After telling them off and explaining that this suitcase wasn't mine, I felt embarrassed and afraid to return it.  Also asked for a job application.  I wanted a job that pays me to destroy other people's property.  The look on the man's face was priceless.
When I returned the luggage to Mr. Vaughn and explained what happened, he just smiled and said: That's ok, the luggage was old.

I will miss Uncle Charlie. He and Aunt Dee always welcomed me in their home and made me feel special as I was growing up.  I am sending my deepest condolences to his family. What a beautiful legacy he created!  

I was introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn in 1969 by my then girlfriend and now wife Ava their niece and from that moment on they became Uncle Charlie and Aunt Dee. Uncle Charlie was one of the sweetest men I've ever met he truly had a gentle soul.  I never heard him speak harshly or saw him angry,the world became a sadder place with his passing.  I will miss him.💖
