    So sorry to hear about Uncle Charles. It was a total surprise. I remember when him and Carol Wayne came out and went coon hunting. It’s something that I’ll always remember, oh and of course the poker games.
    My only regret is I never got the opportunity to go quail and rabbit hunting when dad (Teddy) would come out.
    I will miss Uncle Charles and his witty ways.
