Charlie was one of the most helpful persons you could ever hope to work with at Wachovia. Always had a smile and always had a solution. I truly enjoyed knowing him and having the privilege to work with him.

I remember the encounters that were made when working at Wachovia where I met Charlie for the first time, who always had a friendly impressionably good disposition and smile. He will be certainly missed.

Charlie was one of, if not, the nicest Wachovian I had the pleasure to know and with which to work. Our paths crossed many times through my years at the bank and he always gave assistance in the most kind and gentle manner. We were both graduates of Hanes High School (different years) and his classmates considered him one of their finest and Wachovia lost one of their finest.
