    Dear June, Pat and I both still fondly remember the boat rides around the lake that Captain Charley navigated for the Goodyear gang on our summer outings to Tina and Nicky's cottage. Our prayers are with you at this time. Pat and Dick

    Dear June and Family, We're sorry to hear of your loss. No one quite enjoyed the lake the way that Charlie did. We enjoyed our little chats and pleasant hellos over the bushes. His spirit certainly shone through during his long struggle with that debilitating disease. Our sympathy and prayers go out to you. Yours, Lou and Claire Fusaro

    Aunt June, David, Donna & Diane - We are sad to hear of the passing of Uncle Charlie. I will always remember him as such a fun and boisterous uncle! He always wanted to have fun, especially with the kids. Bill had a special bond with the "dumb sh*t printer" (as they liked to call each other). Well, I guess all I can say is "Here's to Charlie, here's to Charlie, here's to Charlie he's a horses ass!" In a very loving way. Love, Patsy, Bill & Kelly
