    Alphabetically, I was seated next to Charlie in homeroom throughout high school. He was always funny and very sweet. And smart too! I see that he was a hard worker who must have loved his work and he was someone who served his country. The Class of 64 can be proud of his accomplishments. Condolences to you, your family, and friends.

    I will miss seeing Charlie at the NAIC. It was always a welcome break to go down and help him with his work and talk about Star Trek.

    My condolences to the family.
