I was crazy about Charlie...such a positive attitude about everything. Part of that "Greatest Generation" that is disappearing far too fast.

I totally thought this was about the singer Charlie Mars. I can only assume his may have been his grandfather?? Sad to hear, though, but it sounds he lived a full, wonderful life!

I believe it is his grandfather. I went to school with Charlie in Laurel.
