Uncle Charles will always be in my memory as a generous man thinking of others.he always seemed to have a little something he wanted to show you and then it always seemed before you left that he had a little gift to give you . It always gave me the impression that the thing he gave you was something he had picked up with just you in mind. He always made me feel special and he will be greatly missed. Prayers are for all the family. Love always.

Roberta we are so saddened to learn about Charley. Larry and I always enjoyed being friends with the both of you in high school. I think Larry was probably friends with y’all thru elementary and jr high. We talk about y’all often. Our love and sympathy to you and Charlotte and family. Sorry, this is kind of awesome, I’m sitting outside and a Yellow Jacket is flying all around me.
Dear Roberta and Charlotte,
We join you in the sadness of Charles’ passing. We have fond memories of him over the years. We hope that we will be able to see you when COVID is defeated. Meanwhile, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
With love from
Richard and Linda
Hello this is Becky Langley. I am Micheline Zinante daughter. I just wanted to offer my condolences for your Father. I met your father and Mother around 39 or 40 years ago with Pete Zinante his friend my stepdad. Many times I would be around Charlie and Roberta having coffee with my Mom and Pete. Visiting them at Pete and Moms. They were good friends and would cut up all the time. Each ribbing each other with jokes and fun things. I really enjoyed being around them. They were awesome people Your Mother is the sweetest person I ever met and your Father right along with her with his stories and a lot of times some good advice. I was only 22 when I met them and through the years enjoyed their company. I’m almost 60 now. How time flys I just wanted to say that what a blessing that Charlie , Pamela, Pete my Mom are all up in heaven watching upon us and knowing we’ll be ok. Take care and God bless you.
Soft and safe to thee, my brother, be thy resting place. Bright and glorious be thy rising from it. Roberta, I am so very sad to hear of Charles’ passing. I know he loved you deeply and he will be missed by all of his friends. and brothers.
