Charlie planned some very special birthday (surprise) parties for Terri over the years and I was fortunate to attend. One, held at their home in East Orlando, left me with sore feet as we danced for hours on their back patio. Always a gentleman!
What a Handsome man, Rest in Peace. I have so many fond memories of Charlie through the years I would not know where to start. May God give you Peace and Comfort at this time.
Love to all of you and your family.

I first met Charlie while on leave from the Navy in 1969. I had arrived at the old McCoy Airfield on a military flight and had taken a cab to my parents home, I rang the doorbell and was met by a stranger who rather suspiciously asked 'Who I was and what did I want'. He was holding the biggest bowl of cornflakes I had ever seen. The stranger was Charlie. Luckily, my sister Terri was home and quickly diffused an awkward and potentially volatile situation. Reg Browning. Rest in peace Charlie
