So sorry to hear about Charlie death. He was my Dentist many years, but most of all my friend. He would always come to the rescue when you were so upset about a problem with your teeth. I have a mouth full of caps that I will carry to my grave. Thank you Dr. Charlie. Rest in peace in that beautiful city. You told us about it so many times. Loved you Dr Charlie.
