Dear Vicki and family: I am so saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. Several months ago, he stopped in our office and told me that he was sick. He said that he was trying to take care of things (selling his toys)so that he didn’t leave a lot of work for you to have to deal with. He was most saddened that he would be leaving Vicki. He thanked me for the years of service that our family gave to him and thanked us for being “friends” and not just having a business/client relationship. He made sure that he gave me a hug before he left. I had to tell him that it is because of people like him that I love my job. I was greatful to have him for a friend and client. If there is anything that we can help you with, please don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you for all the years. We will miss him too. Love, The Charnie Family – Mary, George Jr, Marilyn & Tommy

Dear Vicki and family, I am so very sorry to hear about Bob. He and I went all through school together from grade school and beyond through high school. I always considered him a favorite classmate.
