Reverend
My dearest Phyllis, Paul and entire family, I was stunned to hear of Charles’ passing, after being out of town and out of touch. I will always cherish your and Charles’ support during my first appointment as Pastor. He was a very caring and dignified man who I will remember for his kindness, support and sense of humor. I have no words to express his impact on my life, yet I feel as though he knows how much he means to me. God bless him and all of you mightily.
Steve and I have always enjoyed knowing Charles through the Brunswick County Museum and our Antiques shop. We will always remember him as a fine gentlemen and will miss him.
