A very sad moment, I really liked Charlie. My sympathies to the family. Rest in peace Charlie.

I hate to hear this, I used to have a whole inbox full of messages where me and Charlie talked about all manners related to the 8 gauge. Charlie actually made it possible for me to get my first 8 gauge, I remember once he wanted some of the 8 ga boxes I had and offered to pay for them but I sent him some for free because had Charlie helped me out greatly before. I wish I could find the hand written letter Charlie sent me , I know Charlies health was bad but I wanted to be optimistic about it I will miss Charlie and his insight. There were alot of times when I logged on all I would do was message back and forth with Charlie.

It was clear to me that Charlie was a kind soul and a honest-to-God gentleman. All of these posts are a testament to his character. I hope his family find a bit of comfort in what our members have written. For me, I won't sit on a tractor, brush hog the back 40, or call to a turkey without thinking of Charlie. Peace be with his family. I'm sure Charlie is at peace.

What a loss. A truer man rarely wrote on these pages. Godspeed Charlie.

Charlie was a good guy. I was fortunate to have Charlie and Bessie come through Tucson years back and spent a few days.
Enjoyed their company. Charlie wanted to see Tombstone, Apache country and Johnny Ringo’s grave.
We managed to do that and made some friends.
I sure will miss Charlies posts.
RIP.
