Thank you so much for sharing this! I tried to get him to go to class reunions but he did not want anyone to see him in the condition he was in – he wanted people to remember him like he was in High School!

I have had no contact with Charlie since our Miami High days as he was a year ahead of me, but I thought I would share a remembrance. One Saturday afternoon, several service clubs were building booths in the school patio for an event and Charlie was there helping. I was wielding a hammer when the head flew off and up into the air. The hammer head came down and landed on Charlie's head, causing a gash and bleeding. We had a big football that night and as usual all the players are instructed to stay home and rest that day. Charlie's big concern was not his injury but that no one mention the incident to head coach Ottis Mooney. Strange what sticks in one's memory bank. Yes, we won the game and Charlie had a great game (much to my relief).

Our hearts are so heavy, Bette, and our grief is profound for your loss. There are no words to express our sadness. Carl and I have tried to deal with our extreme sadness these past few days by talking instead about all the fun times we shared with Charles, you and our kids when they were very young. A number of years have passed since we last saw Charles and you, but please know we often thought about you. We will always be here for you should you ever want to talk or share a memory. I especially enjoyed reading your writing about about falling in love with Charles and sharing 50 years of marriage together. God bless you my friend and our love to your family. Karen Abrahamson
