My friend Charlie is holding court right now with Jack, Dave, Henry and Vic. I miss those times on the dock with good men like that, who could work hard and do a good job. I miss the stories and the laughs. I really miss Charlie going to his trunk and providing refreshments upon completion of the vessel. Thank you Charlie for helping guys like me out all those years ago. I'm sorry for your loss Barbara and family. We have missed him and will continue to do so.

To the family my condolences and my prayers. Charlie was very respected in the water front community. I had the pleasure of working with him in Savannah many years ago. Donnie is right on about him being with his friends and at peace with the world.

My sincere condolences to the Winston Family. I had the extreme pleasure of working with Charlie during my 18 year stay in Savannah. He was a real joy to be around and a very professional at work. As we were both former seafarers a lot of stories were told and enjoyed. I moved away from Savannah 15 years ago but still thought of your father fondly and often. God bless you all.
