Charlie and I served together in the Marines.from 1953-1955. We attended radio tech school at MCRD in San Diego and then shared a squad room for two years at Great Lakes USNTC teaching electronics. He was a close friend and we stayed in touch, on and off, over the years. His brother lived in Poway, less than an hour north of my home near San Diego, so he stopped by for a visit back in the early 1960’s. He was always talking about Jane, his high school sweetheart, while we were in the Marines. He was one of the most likeable people I ever knew and I knew he’d be a great family man. All I can say now is that I’m glad that I knew him, grateful that he had a long and good life, and I wish all his family the very best of memories. Semper Fi, Charlie.
