Charlie “Tuna” will be greatly missed! So many memories like how he would get out his flip phone to check the time, pull out his little notebook to send messages to the girls at Belleville West, wear hats to match his shirt, and finding out the weather by what he wore. I loved teasing him about his socks being too long and being surprised he had thick dark hair under that hat instead of being bald! Until we meet again.
Lynn, I am so sorry to hear of Charlie’s passing. You have my condolences and sympathy.
