I was Chuck’s fraternity brother at Michigan and admired him greatly. “Rozie” was a kind soul. My condolences to his family.

Rest in peace Charlie. I knew you in Skokie when we lived on Monticello street and played ball and built tree forts together and caddied at same golf club. You were a good guy.

Charlie was my “big brother” in Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at the University of Michigan and fellow football player during the 1964 and 1965 seasons under Coach Bump Elliott. He was such a great, caring, kind-hearted man. Hopefully we shall meet again, my friend.
