Charlie will greatly be missed by our whole family. What we love the most is that when we think about memories with Charlie you can't help but smile because he always had a joke or a funny story! The kids thought the world of him and will miss his "nerd" gifts! No words can heal this heart ache but sending love and prayers to LuEllen and the family! Charlie is loved very much!

Larry and I were so very sorry to hear of Charlie’s passing. He was such a joy to be around. You knew you would have a day/evening full of laughter. Proud to call you a friend. We loved you very much! Wish we could have spent more time with you. RIP Charlie

I was so blessed to have such a kind, and caring brother. His family was his priority. He was so funny and could just light up a room with his humor! I will always be so grateful for all the memories of birthdays and family holidays that Charlie made so special! You will be so missed Charlie!

I was absolutely heartbroken to read this. I have such wonderful memories of him. He never missed an opportunity to give me a good- natured hard time or share a laugh. We had ongoing jokes about decorating for Colombus Day and his "fancy jeans". He had the best impish little giggle. He always made me smile, even still as I write this. To LuEllen, John, and especially Renee, I'm so so sorry for your loss. Try your best to wrap yourself in the warmth of all your memories but remember there's no "right" way to grieve. Feel what you feel for as long as you feel it. What a light he was in the world and I am thankful and lucky you shared him with me just a little bit, for a short time. I've gone on for too long. I can feel him telling me to "wrap it up already, kiddi!" I am holding you all in my thoughts and heart as you say goodbye to a dear, dear men.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Charlie was such a wonderful person—always smiling, always laughing, and always so kind to my family. I’m grateful that we had the chance to know him, even if only for a short time. Both Charlie and Lu Ellen have been such a blessing to us, in ways words can hardly express.

Charlie was a ray of light. He was a a joy to talk to and a joy to work with. Not only could he fix anything, he did it while making us laugh---we always went away with a smile. Our memory of Charlie is a blessing. Ted

I only had the pleasure of working with Charlie for about 3 years, but he was always so fun and uplifting when he was around. His sense of humor was through the roof! My thoughts are with LuEllen and family during this difficult time.

Charlie was wonderful. kind,and funny . Can't remember ever spending time with him and not laughing. He was always interested in his family and friends and the events in their lives. We were so honored to have him as our best man at our wedding and LuEllen as Maid of Honor. Beyond happy that they were able to spend the time with us on our special day. Many great memories of spending time with him. We miss him.

Charlie always brought a smile to my face with his funny jokes and quirky comments. Always smiling and willing to help, even when you could tell he wasn't well. He will be missed that is for sure. Prayers for all of his family in their time of mourning, Charlie I know your cutting up and no longer uncomfortable in Heaven. Miss ya already good buddy.

Only knew Charlie for a short time, but found out very quickly he is a great guy. Great sense of humor that made work alittle bit better. Always wiling to help you out and ensure you understood what to do. He talked about his family with love and never had a bad word to say about anyone. He will be missed, I hope the family will celebrate his life and always remember your Husband, Dad, and Brother, will be always be remembered.

Although no words can take away the sorrow that you bare. May if be comforting to you to know that others care.

Charlie was such a special person, and I will miss him dearly. I’ll always remember how he ended every email with just a “c,” how he could tell a story or a joke until he laughed so hard he cried, and how much he loved sharing about his trips with Lu Ellen and their friends. He was more than a colleague—he was a true friend. Charlie, thank you for the laughter, the stories, and the friendship.
