Condolences

Despite our age differences Charlie was one of my best friends . We spent countless hours together trying to figure out the crazy game of golf , first at Baldock/Lincoln Hills then at Green Oaks CC . In all those years of being together I can’t ever remember him being anything , but a gentleman who never lost his cool no matter where that dumb ball would go ! No one , maybe except my mother , ever lived and died with how I played in my tournaments . His buddies Jack ,Gill and Marvin now have their 4th . He was a true friend and will be missed .

I met Uncle Charlie when I was 5 years old. Smiling and kind were my first impressions. I'm sorry that my birthday buddy has passed away. Cheers every April 6th Uncle Charlie.
