Charlie will sure be missed at Crestwood (his 3rd floor coffee group especially for all the wisdom, fun, and fellowship he provided) it just won't be same here without him! I ask God to hold him in His care now as he transitions to this new phase, and to comfort his family in their loss.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Charlie's family, sorry for your loss. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, may that bring you comfort in this time of sorrow.

Charlie has two friends waiting to greet him. Jim Nicholson and Dick smith. They had many fun times through high school. Lost touch when Charlie and Eleanor moved but did keep track through family. Lou Ann, Roberta and Margaret.... Sorry for your loss.

I met Mr. Newby last year and took a liking to him right off the bat. Every Wednesday he would make the rounds handing out his Ghirardelli chocolates and would always have my favorite a Raspberry chocolate, he really had me spoiled. Today was his birthday and he didn't want to have any fuss that he never went to the birthdays here. I said that I would have a mini party for him and he said he wouldn't come. Well........guess he told me, I know who had the last word on that subject. I cant scold him but I can still hold it against him. Heaven has welcomed a wonderful man who will always have a smile and kind word to everyone. Rest peacefully Mr. Newby
