Charlie was one of a kind man who would always help a person in need. He was my mentor and ny surrogate, Dad. He taught me everything I know about stocks today and how to review company financials. Charlie was charismatic and loved his beautiful wife, Geri, her family and his son, John whom he was very proud of. John’s wife, Connie and his grandsons were the apple of his eye and he couldn’t say enough wonderful things about them. After an amazing career at the American Stock Exchange, he retired to Lancaster where he continued to speak and teach seniors about their financial portfolios and what steps they needed to take to be financially secure. I knew Charlie for 29 years and I am proud to have called him my friend because of the imprint he left on my heart. Rest in peace my dear friend.  know you and Vinnie are catching up on old times in Heaven together. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ May you both rest in peace.

Charles Stevens was a fascinating person.  He was brilliant and rose through the ranks to be one of the top executives of the American Stock Exchange in New York City.
He and his dear wife retired to Lancaster County to be close to his son John. 
He was a real good person, a great husband, a great father and grandfather I am sure.
He did a lot of volunteer work and enjoyed talking to people.  He had a really easy and friendly way about him.   He helped me when I ran for office and his family was always great to me.  
I was so sorry to learn that he had passed.  He will be missed.
