Charlie, I am just now seeing this site but I know too late to reflect on you life as I knew you so here goes...My husband, daughter and I had the privilege of living next door to you and your beautiful family. What great people you were and what fun we had. I remember my first Mongolian Bar-b-que at your house and the many Home Interior parties that your beautiful bride and I hosted.
We had just moved to Upstate SC when we received the tragic word of your murder. Ronald felt a loss like no other before. Death is hard but when a beautiful friend who is also a Peace officer suffers a senseless death like you did there just are no words. But I know that you are with our Almighty God now and we will endure until we meet again in the heavenly realms.
Teresa and I are still connected through facebook and we did get to meet up one evening for a meal in Greenville, but we don't get to get together as often as we would like but she has remarried and had to move on with her life I can tell you that you are still her ❤️ and your children are living their best lives. We will all be together again celebrating at the appointed time of God the Father. Oh what Glorious day that will be. Until then my friend! ❤️❤️❤️Tina
