Mr. Charlie was one of the sweetest, compassionate, most charming people I've ever known. His infectious smile was all it took to somehow make my day better if I were down. I will forever cherish the memories I have from all of the long talks Miss. Norma, you and I have had over the years!!! May you rest in peace Mr. Charlie till we meet again! XoXo Nicole

I met Charlie 24 years ago and for 10 years lived across the street from him. What a kind soul. The Bible says Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. I believe Charlie has just come into a large Real Estate inheritance. May God bless him and his family.

God's word tells us; "Our days ebb away...; And our years come to an end like a whisper. The span of our life is 70 years, Or 80 if one is especially strong...They quickly pass by and away we fly." Psalms 90:9,10 This brings to the forefront that no matter how long we live it is not long enough, because man was not intended to die. Genesis 2:17, 3:19 God's word tells us: "He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces." Isaiah 25:8
