  1. Charlie was the most generous and honest man David and I ever knew!
    His deep and passionate love for God will guarantee him a special place in Heaven!

  2. Charlie, you meant the world to us. You were a wonderful friend to all you met and we will never forget you and all you did for us. We will miss you. Love, Keith and Darlene

  3. Been looking for Charlie to show up and made some calls and just found out that we had lost him. My heart is sad. Now the angels get the joy of Charlie and his tales. He will be sorely missed.

  4. Mr. Glaab, I am deeply saddened to learn of Charleys passing. Maybe GOD needed some bird feeders in Heaven. Vonnie

  5. You were the only Grandpa I ever knew. I wish we’d had more time together. I will always miss your jolly, infectious laughter! I will always be your ‘Little Bug’.
