    Charles was my long distance cousin and we enjoyed our chats and laughs over the air-waves. I shall miss his good humor and easy wit. May he rest in peace with his beloved Estella.

    I didn’t know uncle Charles well or see him often, but it didn’t take often or well to realize what a joy it was to be in his company. He will be remembered long. I am sincerely sorry for your loss.
