Although I only new Charley the last ten years of his life, I feel he taught me more than I could ever put into words. His knowledge was so important to me in building my business. He taught and expected you to learn. Always a kind hearted teacher, lol. Charlie was a father figure, councilor, but most of all a true friend. I owe him so much and will forever miss my buddy !
