Not sure what to say?





Hey Charlie, Remembering the days of old when we would hang out together at Rick's cafe and enjoy many games of chess. A bit more for yourself than me. (; I'll never forget the wonderful compliment of encouragement leading me to tournament. Thank you for that. As a result i've done well in tournament. I always remember the much humored witted answer when you were having a difficult parting with a Lady friend when asked "What happen Charlie, you guys couldn't get along?" You responded, We got along well, it's him I don't get along with." Set up the pieces Charlie, hope to catch you in the next round.

I have not seen Charlie in years but i remember him from the 80's in the Restaurant Business. Charlie was a very kind and caring person and was a friend to everyone.
