Iâ€™ll never forget what a great friend and â€œbrotherâ€ he was. We enjoyed so many good times together; dinners every week, BBQâ€™s with neighbors, trips to the beach, etc. He was family and was loved by our ENTIRE family. I miss him so much.

Charles was my friend of over 25 years. He had an infectious laugh and great sense of humor He was fun, generous, honest and brave.
Sadly, he left us way too early.
My condolences to his family and friends. I will miss him always. RIP Charles.

Charles was a good friend and a wonderful co-worker to many, many of us through our years at Tektronix. His friendly face and expert pc knowledge was shared across campus to everyone he met. We could all depend on a smile, PC help, or a good story when Charles was there. He will always be remembered as a great guy with a big heart. RIP my friend, and sending my condolences to all family members.

Charles was my friend for over 25 years and was part of our family when we lived in Portland. Great guy and friend. Kind, smart and generous. You may be gone Charles, but I will never forget you.

Deepest of sympathies to all who loved him. Never a bad day when Charlie was around. I never laughed so much. Enjoyed working with him and knowing him for almost 40 years. So many wonderful and funny memories. I wish we could make more.
