What a shock to me personally. I just drove by where he lived in Williams Township and a wave of remembrance came inside me. Great parties at the farm on the hill always cross my thoughts. A smile that I always will remember that Charlie had and his darkest moments he would just shrug it off and push on !! I always enjoyed his company and conversations we had. He will always be a friend I will miss……. Larry Patton
