Want to share with family & friends about his “special” golf skills. He was part of a group we called the MICHINDI DIEHARDS, which consisted of a group of guys from AP Parts (IH supplier of exhaust pipes) & a select group of IH/Nav. guys that got together annually to play two rounds of golf, play some poker (and other card games) at Charlies’ lake cottage on James, & have yard games & a cookout at my place (John Petry). The event went on for nearly 30 years. The fun-loving guy that was Charlie will be missed. RIP
