What can I say about Charlie that hasn’t already been said?

What I can tell you is the shoes he wore were hard to fill. My first impression of Charlie was that he was a respectable kid. Very easy going and focused in class. The longer Charlie was in class the more of him I saw, I noticed how outgoing he was. Man he could come into a room and clear away any sadness, Charlie was funny and jovial and would brighten up the class. He had a way about him that would make people forget their sorrows. Everyone liked Charlie and yes, Charlie was a Ladies Man, in case you were wondering.

Charlie will always be looked at as the Man, The Myth, The Legend!

Charlie was in my welding class for three years and in those years Charlie’s determination and drive never waned. Welding was his passion. Charlie placed first in the State of NJ in a welding competition. I couldn’t have been more proud. You see, Charlie wasn’t just a student to me he was more like a son. It’s been said that our families, loved ones and friends are all on loan to us for a short while. I can say with confidence that Charlie was most assuredly A Beautiful loan to all the lives he came into contact with…Especially Mine.
