David and I are keeping the entire family in our prayers. Charlie was a great man and loved by all. He loved Carrie to the moon and back! We are here for you Carrie to help you through this difficult and sad time. Charlie would want for you to continue your life remembering your great memories until you meet again! Love you ❤️❤️

I am so sad to find out the celebration of life will be on December 1 because I will be in California with family for the holiday season. I adored Charlie. I played pickle ball with him the last 2 1/2 years. He was such a great player. He always had a big smile on his face. His son and grandson would come many times. I’ve had meals with him and gone to Super Bowl parties with him and he was always so polite and kind and a gentleman. I will keep you all in my prayers, and of course, as others have said if you need anything, please call me. I am here for you all.

Agreed Charlie was an amazing person, I believe he “ bettered” people with his words. I was fortunate enough to know him through playing Pickleball and we had the best time. It was always fun being his partner because he played a hard game no matter what even if he was playing someone who is better than him or not as good as him he never changed his place. He is the only person, who actually would comment and tell me how I should be playing and what I can do to better my game and he would take his time and just explain it to me and he always made me feel so important when he would take his time to tell me how I should be what I should be doing, and I’ll never forget his patience … I know Charlie was a fighter just by knowing him the short time that I did, he would come to Pickleball after his chemo treatments and could not eat anything for days and let us all know that he wasn’t feeling so great, but he would still be playing hard …just an amazing person amazing soul, and I feel so honored to say that I did know him Charlie may rest in peace. Charlie know you are loved by everyones lives who you touch just by knowing them. My sincere condolences and thoughts go out to his family & love ones… I still feel his presence on the court as I know his family must still feel his presence next to them in in life always

The very first time I played pickle ball at Eau Galle Charlie played with me. I will always remember that day because I was terrible, and Charlie made me feel like I was great. He was one of the best players and I truly do not know anyone who could beat him on the courts. He always brought laughter and fun and had a winning personality. He will be greatly missed. All through his illness he still managed to play and kick butt on the courts. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to his wonderful family and may God give them his peace and comfort.

We will greatly miss this great guy. Such a difficult time for family and friends. We will keep you all in our prayers.

Having known Charlie over 40 years, we all grew up and became adults together.
We had our own children, shared birthdays and holidays, played the MAD card game (oh how he loved to crush me in that game!!), and he so generously helped moved me from place to place many, many times.
Anytime I hear “What, me worry? You Worry!!” I will always grin and remember those good old days!

Charlie was a great soul and will be missed and forever remembered. He was always welcoming and made you feel like you had just seen each other a week ago. Our prayers are with him and his family.

I first met Charlie when I was a newbie pickleballer. He was kind-hearted welcomed me into the game. One time, while playing as his partner, I apologized for some bad hits & he said with a smile on his face & a twinkle in his eye “It’s only a game.” I knew he didn’t believe a word of it! It’s community, friends & a great addition to an already awesome life. Now, I get to tell the newbies what he once told me. Charlie was the one who everyone wanted to play with. Such a fun person to be around! Prayers & hugs for the family members. I know Charlie will be missed by many for a long time.
