I have a number of pleasant memories of my friend, 'Charlie' ... It was through him that I was influenced to purchase my first motorcycle, after which we rode together around Delaware and Otsego Counties. For more than a dozen years we traveled together throughout the Tri-county area with the former Delaware County Men's Choir, of which Charles was a member from the time of his teen years. Subsequently, he and I often sang duets during those performances (he a tenor and I a baritone), which we both missed after the Choir disbanded in 1991. Charlie was a humble gentleman and possessed a strong Christian faith, as exemplified by his service to his fellow man. I look forward to seeing him again ... 'on the other side of the river'. .Bob Peet, Delhi
