I came to visit you and to share the love of Jesus but you quickly became a friend and kept me enthralled with your stories of life experiences. We laughed so much and enjoyed each other's company to the full. I will miss you dearly my friend. Life was all the richer with you in it. You are now in the presence of our Lord and it doesn't get better than that. Farewell Charlie, until we meet again. Lovingly, Ken Ford. Cantabria.

Dad, I dreaded this time. It seemed you would go on forever. Thank you so much for all you did for my children, Bruce, Toni and Grant, their partners and the great grandchildren. They absolutely adored you and were all your mates . The world will be a lot different for me now , but you have gone to be with a Mum, which is awesome.
I will miss you so much and thank you for being the very best Dad. You were one out of the box and your story will live forever.
