I also started kindergarten with Charlie and graduated in 1958 from Cathedral High School together. Charlie lived off Cleveland Ave. fairly close to St Peters Cathedral and remember serving mass many times with him. Charlie was always a gentle person and am sorry for your loss

I too started kindergarten with your father thru high school. Also, was in the Boy Scouts with him. Never knew Charlie to say an unkind word about anyone and was always friendly and talkative. A nice man.

So very sorry for your loss. Your father and I started kindergarten together in 1945 and graduated from high school together. By coincidence, my father also went to school with your grandmother Pearl.
