    Pam and family – Wilma and I have been privileged to have you both as friends and neighbors for the past nearly six years. Working with Charlie in Rotary and our MONI investment group, I always thought how lucky we were to know such a kind, intelligent and thoughtful man. I doubt Charlie ever knew a person who came away from meeting him who did not feel a bit better from the experience.
