To the family, I am deeply saddened by the grief you are feeling.
Knowing of God’s love for you, continue to look to him when “he will wipe out all tears from our eyes, death, pain, and suffering will be no more. ” – Revelation 21:3,4
He says death is an ” enemy that will be brought to nothing ” – 1 Corinthians 15:26
How comforting to know that this will be a thing of the past and through Christ Jesus a resurrection for our loved ones.
love,

Goodbye Charlie, you were a heck of a good man. We should all strive to be like you.
Many wonderful memories. May God’s peace be with the family.
I will miss Charlie greatly. He was a longtime friend on Guam and had a special affinity for a good pun. 🙂
He also had a tender heart for young people and worked impacted numerous kids thru Faith Church–so many
came to know him as “Uncle Charlie.” Praying comfort and peace for the family.

Although saddened by the news of my good friend’s passing, I am comforted that he no longer imprisoned by the human restraints. Charlie was blessed with a keen mind and deep understanding of God which was generated by the study of Gods word. Now he is free to enjoy the depth of his relationship with the Lord!
We appreciate all your love to your brothers and sisters at Faith Church. We will miss our dear bro. Charlie but will he will always remain in our hearts. We love you Bro. Charlie .

I will miss my friend and brother Charlie. There are many wonderful memories from Tuesday lunches at Wendy’s to cell group bible studies. Someone to hold me accountable and give godly counsel when needed.
Faith Church was enriched by Charlie’s presence from his many years on Guam. We grieve with the family at his loss but rejoice that he now is with his Lord and Savior.
Love in Christ,
I met Charlie at Wheaton College. Charlie was a great friend with a love for Christ and a wonderful sense of humor. He had a great memory for details, not only of sports games in the past, but also for personal conversations and incidents. “Remember when Dave said such and such and you said …?” I appreciate his love for people, including my whole family. I look forward to being reunited with him in eternity.
