Charlie, from one Sailor to another - It was my honor to have met you and to share sea worthy stories when you visited Tommy and Maddie in Texas. The best words I can say - "If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise, then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days. Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say, Our Country is in mourning, for a sailor died today." Rest in Peace Charlie.
Sincerely, Richard C. Baker, Pipe Creek, Texas.

Charlie, I will always remember the great times we had when you and Anne visited Texas. The great and memorable shopping trips to the Galleria and the long conversation we had about life, serving the Lord and your love for your family. You blessed this earth with your presence, I was glad to be your friend. You are now in a better place and will no longer suffer. God Bless you. Cecilia Hamilton, Santa Fe, Texas.

Dear Uncle Charles,
I will miss you. I always looked up to you growing up. You were so gentle and kind and always had a smile on your face. I remember Aunt Annie had a picture of you in your sailor uniform and I thought you looked so handsome and I was so proud that you served for our country. It is hard to say goodbye for you are my last uncle. But you are now at peace and with Aunt Annie the love of your life. Goodbye and love Annie

My dear friend Charlie, I will miss you so much. I always enjoyed our Tuesday meetings, they were pleasant and comforting for both of us. It was always great to talk of the past, and of course, about Brooklyn.
I was so happy to serve with you as an usher at Saint Luke's Church. You were a very religious man, with a deep sense of family, and of GOD's influence on our lives.
I pray that our paths will cross again. Till then, Love Brian J.
