I would like to start by saying to Charlie’s family that I am so sorry for your loss. Some say how this was expected well I don’t exactly agree with that. A loss of a loved one is never easy and a loss is a loss . No matter if it’s sudden accidental or as they say expected it’s still a loss none the less . Having said this I want to share my biggest memory that I will always have to remember Charlie. Which is Charlie’s kindness TO ALL . Charlie what I was eye witness to would help just about anyone . No matter if it took him out of his way or not . Countless times I would go out to see Charlie as I would pull into his apartment complex. There was Charlie giving someone a jump start . Some kid out there who needed to purchase a battery I assumed waiting on payday . Do you know Charlie would go jump start him everyday during that MONTH !!! Now that’s a fine example of pure sincere kindness . Charlie will be missed by this ole gal . Beyond words . But I also know absolutely know 100% Charlie walks anew today for eternity with our Lord with all of Charlies loved ones . Charlie is free today laughing and cutting up like he always did and always will . Loved my friend and I always will . Hurt and loss is part of life. But we shall get through all of us One Day at a Time. God bless you all . Charlie’s friend, Shelley
