I am so sorry for your loss. Charlie was a friend of mine from the USO at Camp Atterbury. I met Charlie about six years and I enjoyed listening to his stories about life and his wisdom. He was such a kind gentleman who shared so much joy with others. He made me smile and laugh every time we worked side by side at the USO. I wanted his family to know what a difference Charlie made in my life. May he rest in peace. Doc Shafer, Franklin, Indiana.
