A great friend and leader. He encouraged me to work overseas and always had a positive message. You will be missed my friend. God has you now. Say hello to my Dad old friend.
We met Charlie in China, and my husband Jimmy worked with Charlie several times, in other countries over the years, and we have been friends ever since. When you’re in another country, away from family, friends become family – the special kind that you choose to love. I think it was impossible not to love Charlie. He was one of Jimmy’s best friends, and mine. We will always remember him as a man of impeccable character, his good sense of humor, his loyalty, and as a handsome, well-dressed gentleman with excellent taste in all things. We’ll always remember the good times, and I cannot remember many good times when Charlie wasn’t with us. We love you, Charlie, and we’ll catch up with you later when we see you again.
