O my gosh Charlie. I seen someone’s post today. I don’t where to start what I wanna say. When I first lived in busby with matt(rip) you and your family would always greet me with a smile and say hello to me. You had a very kind heart. Always had a joke or tease to say. I haven’t seen you in years but once we see each other you always had a smile. My condolences to your family and friends.
