If one were to sum up Charlie's quality in one sentence, I think Steve just did it.

I still get glassy eyed thinking about a forum without Charlie.

Two things among the many I remember about Charlie: how he appreciated simple old Stevens guns, and his recent joy at finally getting a Daisy Red Ryder. RIP Charlie.

Charlie was a blessing for the PGCA family , and we all feel like we have lost a close relative.
Prayers for his family.

So sorry to learn of Charlie’s passing. I’ll always remember Charlie as a thoughtful and compassionate man which he had shown us thousands of times through his many posts. Charlie always had something positive to say.

I just happened upon this sad thread this morning, and like all others here am saddened at the loss. We are richer for Charlie having had such a big presence here.

To the Cleveland family, know that we are remembering you in our corporate prayers for comfort and peace at this difficult time. We all feel like we had a "kinship" with Charlie. He was just that special a person. As you grieve his passing please know that we all grieve with you. There will be a void on this forum that no man will ever fill. What a special guy he was!

Rest in peace, brother.

So sorry to hear. Charlie, you will be missed but not forgotten.
I envision you in a heavenly place holding a 16 lb 40” barreled Parker 8 bore and smiling.

Charlie Cleveland made me smile, find contentment, enjoy easy pleasures, be satisfied with an honest days work, look forward to a challenge, and to be aware of simple surroundings. I am sad.
Sending love and strength to ALL his loved ones.
