    My uncle Don went to Charlie for years, he was the first to cut my sons hair. My son loved going there so much he used to ride his bike all by himself to go see Charlie. What a sweet and kind speaking man. Thank you for so many years of service making the Men of the community look a bit better. I am sure there are lots of stories that were shared in that chaif of his. Bless you, kind soul.

    So many Saturday mornings as a kid were spent watching Charlie work, watching golf or NASCAR on tv, eating Bugles and drinking an ice cold root beer, waiting my turn. I'm sure many others share that type of memory, but it is a memory that is cemented as part of who I am. Rest in peace.
