I was just talking to Charley last week, he was talking then about leaving us, I think he was ready, and he had no regrets about it, Charley for those that knew him, loved to tell his stories, and he had a bunch, I always enjoyed reading about his adventures in life, and tried to convince him to start writing them down, but he never did, he's been an email buddy for several years now, and I'll miss him and his stories, guess I should have saved them myself, wish I had now.

                         Charley you made it pard, and you're finally pain free Pal
                                              God Bless
