Since Charlie and Armida moved to Vegas I didn't necessarily have a lot of opportunities to get to know him better but the earliest memory I have of him is Armida's wedding. They both seemed so joyful and the love really shined through. I just remember them smiling nonstop. 
The last time I visited a few years ago, Charlie went around looking through all of his storage for recipes from his time as a chef, to gift to me since he knew I liked to cook. He looked around the house for awhile looking for those. He told me that when he found them he wanted me to have them and I knew he truly meant it. I'll always remember him as being so kind in every interaction with him, and even if he sometimes didnt know what to say, his kindness and love shone through. He was a great guy and a great husband I'm sure, and he will be missed. --Andrew Herrera
