I just recently learned of Charlie's passing. In 1967 I went to work for Delta Res in Cincinnati. I was only nineteen and from a small town in Indiana. I was a little intimidated moving to the "big city". Charlie was always encouraging and supportive. I have never forgotten his kindness. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Charlie was one of the best supervisors Delta ever had. He was a man of great integrity, was always honest with you and more importantly, he always had a smile ready to give away. Altho saddened by his passing I know by his life he now is in the presence of his true love, Jesus Christ. May God’s infinite grace and mercy be in abundance for his lovely wife and family.

Charlie was my first supervisor at Delta and he was the best; he was so much more than that he was our friend, confident, encourager, motivator and mentor. We are better for having known him. Barb we pray for God's peace to surround you and to help you celebrate the man you spent your life loving.
