Debra, I think about you every day and how much you did for Charlie. I am sorry for his loss.
Uncle Charlie was a fascinating, intelligent man with a zest for humor that was truly unique.
I’ll always remember our ‘pen pal’ years when I was a little girl. Uncle Charlie would discuss space, science & astrology with me long distance through ‘snail mail’ in the 70’s & 80’s. I looked forward to his letters & eagerly tore them open when the postman delivered one. It instilled a love for these topics that will always be part of my life.
Uncle Charlie also had a love for animals that he passed along to his family, & those who knew him.
We love you Uncle Charlie. Rest in peace.
Till we meet again,
Jeannie Culp
