From the time we moved here and I became a member of VFW Post 740, Charlie always had time to talk with me. Over the years I came to appreciate how much I learned about life by listening to Charlie. When I last spoke with him and asked how he was feeling, he smiled and said "better and better every day Phil". I will always admire his courage and bravery in the face of adversity. He was a good friend and will be sorely missed by us all.
