Marie, Angela, family, Mary Ellen, and Jean:
Charlie was one of my favorite high school classmates. He was a caring person – after receiving our Christmas letter last year you folks sent me a get-well prayer card! Charlie slipped in a note of sympathy and then revealed his heart arrhythmia and inability to drive and go to church.
Gen and I have him and all of you in our thoughts and prayers, God bless you all. From another member of the Waterville HS class of 1951.
An amazing man and Uncle. I will remember his sense of humor and stories along with the many great trips fishing, to the cabin and family gatherings.
Words can’t express how sorry I am for your loss. He will be greatly missed. Love to you all.
Marie, Angie, Nick and Gianna….words cannot describe how saddened we were to hear of Charlie’s passing. He was a wonderful man who will be greatly missed by all of us here at Dr. Philson’s office. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Love,
Connie, Michelle, Nicole, and Dr. Philson
He truly cared about every student. One of the best ever. One in 10 million!
