One of Charlie's favorite quotes is:"Every man dies, not every man really lives! - William Wallace
No man stands so tall as he who stoops to help someone.
If you want to be king of your castle, treat your woman like a queen
When I take the measure of a man, I put the tape measure around his heart, not his head
A day without sunshine is probably night.
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
...From the beginning to the end
He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not how much we own;
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how...Expand for more
we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard.
Are there things youâd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider whatâs true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like weâve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy is being read
With your lifeâs actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?
--- poem by Linda Ellis".
More about Charlie:"Enhance the beauty around you with the beauty within you
I'm easy to figure out
I'm into heritage, and hope you love yours
I'm religious and conservative... hope that doesn't bother you
I think what I think, and you can do the same...people don't have to agree to be friends
I like people...all kinds....and friendship is VERY important to me
I will probably tell you what I think of you...I think you should let people know how beautiful they are while you can...you may never get the chance again
I'm not perfect...but I'll keep trying...I don't expect you to be either
I love kids....they really know how to forgive and forget!
Family is important to me too...I have a great one in my opinion".
