Dearest Charlie,
What a wonderful man, so many great memories of you and your family that still bring the biggest smiles, just the best neighbours ever!!!
It has indeed been such an honour and a privilege, and an absolute pleasure.
Give your couch nap buddy a hug for us and we´re sure there´ll be a fair few reds waiting for you.

Thinking of you all at this very sad time, love from Rosanna, Fred and all the Vegar family x

Charlie may have been a man short in stature but he had a great heart. He was warm, friendly, giving and caring. Nor was there any doubt about his beliefs or commitment to the St Saviour's Church as it was once known.
He was a wonderful and dear friend of the Forder family.
On occasions, Charlie had an impish nature, often noticeable on 'envelope evenings'.
Personally, I learnt a great deal from him when working during my school holidays packing medical supplies for his then business. What he taught me helped me tremendously later in life.

To you Pat and your family I extend the condolences of my sisters and myself. We all have very fond memories of Charlie.
Paul, Susan and Alison Forder.
