I remember your dad at the nursing home waving and smiling as I would wheel my mother through during the dinner hour. He always loved to chat with us and I will always always remember that smile. My mom Sophie and your Charles are smiling together up in heaven, watching down on all of us. Blessings to you all!

I was very sorry to hear about Charlie's passing. I worked for Engineering & Construction for 37 years and often would communicate with Charlie about building issues that I would find even though I was the chief bridge inspector for the City of Columbus.
Charlie would tell me "I'll take it from here" when he showed-up.
We will keep you all in our prayers for peace and strength.
God Bless
