“Charlie On The Spot” was always available to help others in need, whether it was a 2AM airport pickup or rescuing a cat from a tree. Invite him to a barbeque and he would rebuild your deck or rewire your house while he was there!

He enjoyed his many years and adventures with Jean and Nina the dog (his baby girl) in Palm Bay, Fla, while creating many lasting memories with family and friends.
