I was shocked and saddened to read of Charlie’s passing. I had just spoke to him the day before he passed away. He seemed to be in good spirits and improving health wise. He was a kind, gentle man. I was very fortunate to call him my friend. I will miss our conversations. My consolation is this he is once again with his beloved Carolyn and son Stan. My condolences to Charlie’s family. Missy will miss him terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of great sorrow

Charlie,
What a blessing you were for the residents of Meadowcrest.
Always happy and always smiling; never blamed others for your mistakes.
Charlie and his little doggie will be long remembered by the folks here.
