    Melanie, your dad was as good as it gets. Kind, thoughtful, funny and fun to be around. You were very lucky to have him in your life. Cherish the memories. He wouldn’t want you to be sad for too long. We will miss him.

    I worked with Charlie for many years at Alcoa. There was never a dull moment with him! Such a kind, funny guy. And the BEST stretcher operator even when he started losing his sight! Sending prayers to the family
    Rest In Peace Charlie

    I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.” —Leo Buscaglia (a former co worker)
