You toiled so hard for those you loved.
You said goodbye to none.
your spirit flew before we knew,
your work on earth was done.
We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
as time goes by we miss you more.
Your loving smile, your gentle face:
no one can fill your vacant place.
Your life was love and labor.
Your love for your family true.
You did the best for all of us.
We will always remember you.
We miss and love you Dad.
Laura, Jocelyn and George
Charlie you will be missed so very much from all your friends at Japanese Gardens. You were a very special man. So happy and full of life. I use to see you in the pool and you would talk to everyone all about what Japanese Gardens was like back in the past. You were a man that had so much respect from many. We will surely miss you so very much and knowing you, you will be up there watching over the place you loved Japanese Gardens in Clearwater Florida. Our deepest sympathy to your family. We have so many beautiful memories. Thank you for being our friend. You will never be forgotton🙏
The only way I can describe my brother is to say that he was amazing. He took care of our mother, our grandmother and his beloved wife, Ann. Whenever I spoke to him he'd ask if I needed anything, particularly after I lost my husband a year ago. He traveled by himself from Florida to New York so he could come to the memorial for Willard. I told him it wasn't necessary for him to come but it was important to him to be there. He had such a strong sense of loyalty to family and friends. I was so fortunate to have a big brother like hm. Rest in peace, Charles. Your little sister, Alvina
