When I was a young teenager, my friends would always ask me why I did not call my dad, dad...I would reply that of course he is my real dad, but he is Charlie to me. My younger siblings and I used to love to listen to him tell us stories....I thing the one that we enjoyed to most was when he would tell us that he wrestled Grissly Bears...and later on in life he got enjoyment out of repeating those same stories to my Husband Neil ( I think that he really did believe them)....I am going to miss our little summer time visits and of course his whisling. I am missing you to day and tomorrow I will miss you even more if that is at al possibe. I love you Dad Irene (((((HUGS)))))

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Charlie will be missed by all who knew him. I will remember his devotion to his family and especially his sense of humour. Rest in Peace Charlie. To live in the hearts of those left behind is not to die.

As I think about what it is I want to say, so many things come to mind. I am sure I speak for everyone when I say that Gramps is sadly missed. Gramps and Nan welcomed me in to their family with open arms. They never hesitated to take on the role of being Grandparents to the boys and I. Only of about 3 short years of knowing Nan, she sadly passed away when my kids were very young. My boys Bradley and Justin were 7 and 4 and my daughter Samantha was 2 years old at the time. After she passed, Paul and I started going to Grampas house on with the kids for Sunday suppers. It became a tradition for years to follow. Almost after every meal Paul would play crib with gramps while I tidied up the kitchen and hung out with Gayle and the kids afterwards. It wasn't very often that Paul would win. Alot of times Gramps would say things like" it stinks in here" or asked "do you smell something"? Thats when you knew that Paul had been skunked. It was too cute. As time went on, the kids got older and the family grew bigger. My boys found themselves girlfriends. Kelsey and Sharita. He was very fond of both of them and they adored him. Even the kids would share a few games of crib with him from time to time. He loved it. I dont think he ever turned down a game of cards. He watched my kids grow in to fine young adults and he even got the chance to meet his Great Great Grandson Jackson, who will soon be turning 1 in April Approx 3 years ago, Gramps could no longer really take care of Gayle or himself. At least not to to the full potential that he once could so Paul and I decided to move in to help out. It was the best move for all of us. I felt blessed to have been given the chance to develop a special bond with him. He welcomed the thought of us moving in with him and he even had Paul build an addition to the house to accomodate my family. Soon those Sunday dinners turned into everyday ones. He didnt care to much for cooking so he didnt mind. I knew there was a catch. He was actually a good cook. Through the years Gramps graced us with his silly sense of humor. He always made us laugh. When he spoke, he always had laughter in his voice and in his words. It was so easy to make him laugh. He had such a cute sounding laugh. It was music to our ears He was a great man with a heart of gold and would help anyone who needed it. He never asked for anything and was always greatful. He never complained He had all kinds of funny little sayings. When I asked him how he was doing he would answer " I'm finer then the hair on a frog" (now i thought that was pretty fine). If I said that he was old enough to lie, he would say " Only when the truth wont do". I think one of my favorite one was when he said "When i came out, my mother didnt know if i was going to walk or fly. (because of his big ears). Back in August he reached a milestone. He had turned 90. Friends and family gathered for his suprise birthday party to help celebrate such a special day. He loved it he had such a great time. His face lit up. He was such a big kid at heart. Just before his birthday we moved Gayle out on her own for the first time to live at the Barclay house (Retirement home). All the residents love her over there and took her under their wings. It was a hard transition at first but they both got through it together. He was content and happy to know that Gayle was in a safe place and that she was going to be well cared for. He saw that she to was very happy and had adjusted extremely well. He felt reassured and it gave him peace. Near the end, Gramps became very tired and everything became so difficult for him. What used to be so easy became harder and harder to do on his own. You could tell that he was tired. The day before he passed away, Paul and I brought Gayle to visit him in the hospital. She held his hand to let him know that she was there. It was as if to say " Dont worry dad, its going to be ok. She would always tell him (as she gently pats his arm or shoulder) "Dont worry Dad. Don't worry about me". But he always did. That was his job. In just a few short hours the next day, he had passed away peacefully in his sleep. Gayle asked me if i thought if gramps was aware of her being there holding his hand. I reassured her. She wanted to be able to give him something special to take with him to heaven and so I brought her to the mall and we came across a little Angel pendant. The inscription fit perfectly to what i thought she would want to say to him if she could. The pendant symbolizes an Angel Hug and the little card it came with represents her voice for everyone to hear and understand her. If she could talk and be understood, this is what i think Gayle would want to say. AN ANGEL HUG UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN Saying goodbye is never easy, but even though we must be apart, always know that I love you, and keep you forever in my heart. This little angel has been sent to deliver a hug to you , and to remain by your side, night and day, to keep you safe until we meet again. He touched the hearts of everyone who knew him.
