I am so sorry to hear about Charles passing. I finally found him a ship registry,Grand Canyon. We were on the ship together. I will always remember him as very fine young man. We were friends. Good Good Guy!!! In God's Loving Memory.
I am sad I didn't catch up with him in this life.
Heaven awaits all of Jesus' followers!
