This is truely sad news; it took my breath away. Our first trip was 89 or 90 and we had figured out with Charlie one time that he had just started at NBC. He spent his days sweeping the sidewalks and he brought my wife her first Jamaican apple to try (horrible!). I don't think he was more than a teenager at the time so he wasn't more than 40 something when he passed. We hadn't seen him in a couple of years because he had been sick or in the hospital when we visited. We were so happy to see him last February but he had aged so much i almost didn't recognize him. He was a wonderful guy and no visit will be the same without him.

Charlie, rest in peace, we'll miss you!
