Charlie was a first class gentleman. I first met Charlie, Bill, Louis, and Roy on a hunting and gun showing adventure in New Hampshire in the early 90's. From the onset, you could tell from Charlie's demeanor, that he was a kind, honest, and thoughtful person. We struck up a friendship that lasted.
I will tell one quick story---Charlie was collecting American made 16 bores and he called me asking if I had a 16 L.C. Smith. I said ,yes. I sold him a Crown 16 trap configuration for what I paid for it. Some years later , Charlie sold that collection and he sent a letter to me explaining the entire transaction along with a check. An honest and caring gentleman.
I had tears in my eyes upon hearing of his passing.
