He had great wit, never met a stranger and always had a story.
Thanks to his myriad of friends for being a part of his journey. He has taken his fishing pole to heaven.
There will be no service, per his request.
Anyone desiring memorium, his favorite was Camp Ronald McDonald in Mountain Center or Rotary of Idyllwild for local community projects.
Please toast to Charlie with your memories (preferably merlot with ice.)
