This is Charlie during his last Christmas in 2015.
I don’t know if you can make out the words Charlie’s T-Shirt but they say “Good Vibe”. Well, that sums Charlie up perfectly.
Charlie had the gift of knowing what people needed, especially his older community, and then ensuring that they got it. This was his gift – the ‘gift of giving’ friendship and companionship to the aged in his community.
During his wake in March 2016, one of Charlie’s neighbours summed up what Charlie gave to his community beautifully. She said…
There seems to be much less laughter and light in the community without Charlie, I don’t know how we will all manage without him. Charlie gave so much of himself and would never accept praise or payment. He will be missed in more ways than one…
