I met Charlie almost 9 years ago being a new Postmaster to Wingdale. From day one he became a good friend, mentor, big brother and often a father figure to me. We shared daily talks about his life, health and family situations as well as mine. We shared trips to the casino in Monticello as well as who covered the spread on Sunday football. I called him "Chuck Roast", Chuckie, and Chuck, never Charlie. I miss you my friend. I saw the best and worst of your health as you tracked into the post office with Tony Baldino not far behind to get your mail and dental packages for your daily workload. You will always be in my mind and heart as you always left my office saying " you be good buddy".Thank you "Roast"for being a big part of my life, and a friend, "be good buddy" we will toast again. Rich
