Charles was my uncle. The baby of six siblings. I worked for Grandpa Monaco and with Uncle Charles for two summers as a teenager in a sheet metal shop. There was only 13 years difference in our ages but I always thought of him as much older. He was strong and a hard worker whom I admired. He never married nor made a million dollars, but if the measure of a man is how he conducts his life he was a giant. He was a Christian gentleman who walked his road with dignity and morality . R.I.P, Uncle Charles.
