I remember your dad from his days at Nashua and as a friend of my dad's, John Scott. He was good for a laugh and would stop by occasionally to visit dad even after they both had left teaching. My sympathies to you all.

You have our sincere sympathy with Charlie's passing. He was a friend of mine when we taught in Nashua. We were fortunate of seeing Charlie and Pat when we were in Baton Rouge back in 1999. His name still comes up when a bunch of guys meet for coffee in the mornings in Nashua.

My dad was a star! Not a star in the sense that we know stardom to be. But the star in his own and his children´s lives. Shine on Dad, your brightness will be remembered forever in our hearts!
