We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Life blessed us to be good neighbors. Mom loved the time she spent with your mom in Mother's Clubs and on husband's night they always would have a great time. Our prayers and love we send your way.

Charlie and I were not only colleagues but also great friends. We were fellow community development specialists, and later he became my supervisor. Throughout our relationships we shared many experiences about our projects and programs as well as our personal lives before Extension. I recall many great get-togethers with other CD specialists sharing our many experiences including Charlie's dedicated and dangerous assignments in WW II and his exploits assisting displaced persons following the war. s
Charlie was dedicated to unselfishly serving others then and later with Extension. He was greatly admired by all of us in the CD field.

Charlie and I met together probably a year ago for the last time. I said I was concerned about his being much thinner, and that he didn't look well. He replied "Ray, I am grieving." I replied "Charlie I am so sorry. I should have known. Marguerite was was so gracious and personable. I realize you suffered a tremendous loss."

I regret I did not attend Charlie's memorial service. I would have been there had I known. But my computer was being reconditioned, and I got it home on November 8th. I couldn't believe how ironic. I just feel so bad that I wasn't there.

I hope the best for all of you. You can be proud to have been a part of his life. I am.
