I will never forget all you've taught me through the year of me being at McDonald's. I loved listening to your stories about your boat and your fishing adventures. You were a very generous kind hearted man. You will be missed everyday. Without a doubt It will take awhile to adjust without hearing you ask where are the customers. My condolences to you wife, kids, grandkids, and the rest for your family & friends.

Our condolences to Sue and beloved Family. You have suffered a terrible loss, a loving husband, Father, GrandFather and friend to many as with the Beaudette family in New York. Charlie, Tommy and I were like brothers in high school. All, thou they are both gone now, we three will always be connected. Our memories will always bond us. Also, he was like a stepson to my parents, they loved, respected and trusted him to always take care of their sons. Charlie had an open door policy to my parents home, he could come and go as he pleased. He picked us up every morning morning and drove us to school. I will never forget the time we came to CT and he took us all out on the boat to fish, we had alot of fun. He is a very thoughtful person and always has been. All I can say now, but much more to Charlie himself, God Bless you all and our Lord will take care of him. Again, our memories cannot be taken away from us and he will always live within our hearts. May you and your family survive this terrible tragedy. Our Lord takes the good ones early, but why ??? We will never know.
Steve & Kathy Beaudette and the rest of my family here in New York.
