Charlie was a best friend and confidant. He will be greatly missed. He lived his life on his own terms and all that knew him, knew how exceptional he was, his honesty, his character, his kindness, his sense of humor, with such a unique personality, that it made him one of a kind. You lived your life right, rest in peace my friend.
