Charley was a true Southern Gentleman and I will miss him.He was a great help to me when I first got interested in Parkers and was always there when I needed an expert opinion on a gun. When I could not locate a suitable D grade 10 lifter he reached into his collection and offered me his. That gun was the first Parker Charlie ever purchased and I treasure it.

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.

Mr. Charlie and you were always gracious enough to come by the table at the southern and sit and "chat for a spell". What a kind and gentle soul. I will truly miss him. Rest in Peace.

A true gentleman who will be forever missed but whether you knew him for years or just briefly in a phone call like myself, you feel like you just lost a great friend. An example for us all, we will miss him but remember his kind words and the happiness in his voice. Peace and God's comfort to his family in these hard times. May God Bless them all. We will miss him always but always remember the wonderful gentleman and be forever greatful to have known him.

Being more of a lurker on this forum, I didn't really know who Charlie was or what he had contributed to the Parker world. Reading what has been written in this post gave me a glimpse of who he was but mostly I could see that he meant a lot to many people. Ironically, I was looking through some files on my computer and came across a copy of the Summer 2007 Parker Pages. To say that Charlie figured predominantly in that issue is an understatement and it gave me a much better understanding of what a outstanding individual he was. I can see why he will be missed and it makes me wish I had known him personally.

My condolences and prayers go out to his family.

A touching service to a great man and an awesome friend of the Parker community. Brandon and Rev. Johnson both did a great eulogy for our friend and all knew what a Parker shotgun was.

The Price family and especially his wife Elma, would like to thank all the Parker forum contributors who provided fond memories and well wishes on the passing of our father, Charlie. These thoughts have warmed our hearts and provided comfort in this time of sorrow. He was a wonderful man and our lives have been blessed beyond words with his strength, love and support. We will miss him very much.
We would like to thank all of you for sharing your love of Parker shotguns with him. He looked forward to the commentary and questions on the forum and he loved the comradery of the entire Parker community.
A special thanks to Bill Mullins, who has been his special friend through many years and adventures. Bill, your special support to us during these last days of his illness and through his passing has brought us much comfort.
With Sincere Gratitude,
Danny & Debbie Price

That's sad to hear. I hope his passing was peaceful. The couple times I met him he was always gracious and kind to me.
