[QUOTE=Rumlover;15284]I don't think he was more than a teenager at the time so he wasn't more than 40 something when he passed.QUOTE]
Actually Charlie was more like 60ish. We were about the same age & I was surprised to learn that years ago as, I too, thought he was younger. He just looked younger until, as you stated, his illness began to take a toll on him. The last few years had been difficult. He persevered & did his best to work around his increasing limitations & he never complained. A great person, a well-respected man.
