    Dear Sandy and family, We were so glad to have known Charlie for the few years he was part of Rock Steady boxing. He has a special place in our hearts. Charlie faced Parkinson's with a quiet dignity, perseverance and strength. Both of you were an inspiration to the boxers living with Parkinson's and those who love them. May the love of God surround you and comfort you during this time of transition.

    Sandy - My condolences to you and your family. Charlie was a great friend of mine in the Automotive Golf League and at the Marshal Lab. If, and when, the DuPont Country Club re-institutes the "Tree of Life" program, rest assured that the League will buy a leaf to memorialize his passing. Most sincerely, Roger
