Time gets away from us. Had no idea his death had been this long. I hope at this time that sorry has passed to wonderful memories that your family had together. I had no idea of Charles history as a child and the adversity he dealth with. It brought more respect for him. I never knew him as Tige.

He was one of my favorite teachers at Liberty Bell. Years later would occasionally see him out at Food City shopping and he'd always stop to talk and share memories.
Sorry for your loss.
