To my dad Charlie from Afton road. From the very beginning I remember his hugs and his loud voice saying Victoria come here. And then the laughter started and the biggest hugs ever given. This man I loved so much he was my best friends daddy. He will forever be my Charlie dad.

Jeff & Chip and families, so sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of his wonderful smile. He made everyone feel so welcome. They loved their garden and oh the tomatoes they grew. He loved the sunsets when you first moved out here. I remember him telling me there was nothing quite like them.
Take care.

Charlie always remembered how he would drive Christie and I to high school and every song that came on the radio, we would say,"I love that song" and tease us about it.  So in the later years, when I would visit from Oregon, he would repeat that line everytime he would see me... I still think of him each time I say those words... I always will!

Charlie was truly a unique and special person. As I remember Mesi family reunions, I picture Charlie coming forward, calling out in his booming voice, mixed with laughter and hugs. He made us all feel welcome and loved. We will miss him dearly.
