Condolences to the family. Charlie was a great friend; we talked a lot. We laughed a lot about the past Calvert history, now and back when growing up. The one thing we loved to talk about were our cars. I going to miss you, Charlie. God Bless.

I’m so incredibly sorry to hear of Charlie’s passing. Calvert County has lost a true legend. Sending hugs, thoughts and prayers – especially for the days to come.

Charlie, you were one tough boss but even then one of the best bosses I ever had. Your love and knowledge of Calvert County was immense. I reckon you and Gilbert will be finding some rascality to get into on the other side. Condolences to Amy, Amanda and those grandkids. Your dad was top shelf.

So sorry to hear of Charlie’s passing. Charlie was a great guy and friend, and I always enjoyed the talks about our past and history of the county. Prayers of peace and comfort to his family, Charlie will certainly be missed.

I knew from my earliest interactions with Charlie at the Calvert Independent I knew I liked him. I liked Charlie so much I wish he was a Uncle, so I started calling him Uncle Charlie and in return he called me nephew. After the Calvert Independent closed it’s doors I found myself running into Charlie out and about somewhere often. We would stop and talk, be it a brief or in depth conversation. I really enjoyed running into Charlie and catching up. At the end of our chance meetings I would always remind Charlie he is one of my favorite people and he would in return say I was one of his favorite nephews. Charlie was a invaluable source of historical information about Calvert county and Southern Maryland. I am saddened to know their will be no more chance meetings and discussions on Earth. I send condolences and sympathy to Charlies family, friends and colleagues.
I find solace in knowing I will meet Charlie again at the gates of Heaven.
My friend and adopted Uncle, may you, Requiescat in pace.

My good friend, supporter and ally,
You did great things for Calvert County and you will be missed

I lived just around the corner from Buena Vista Rd. during childhood, and rode my bike to Charlie’s house many times in the early 60s. I remember him telling me he joined the Army. I enjoyed talking with him during those times, and later in life just talking about whatever was in the News at any given time…I am sorry to read of his passing, and he will be missed by many in the County I am sure …

With Deepest Condolences to the Family 🙏
I know Charlie will be missed by many.
Be in Heavenly Peace old friend🙏

Charles was a family member. I am going to miss him. Heaven gained another angel. RIP

Enjoyed many chats with Charlie over the years. He was truly one of the nicest people. Condolences to his family. He will be missed.

Charlie will be missed. I worked with him at Calvert Independent for couple years. He was always nice to talk to. We would go to flea mk. at Calvert fairgrounds and he always wanted to sit and talk about old times. Our condolences go out to the family.

When it was time to work, Charlie was the boss, completely in charge. When it was time to relax, eat, drink and talk, Charlie was great company. He probably forgot more Calvert County history than most locals have or will ever know. Peace to his family and may he rest well.

When we first moved here, in 1981, I met Charlie because the Independent had a printing company, so we both had “ink in our veins”. We would share resources and stories, as well as opinions on the changing of the industry. He was so squared away and solid in his ways and thoughts, which is rare and appreciated. Fast forward, years later, we’d run into each other at the super market and have long conversations about the state of things, and generally appreciate each other’s existence. Will remember him fondly, and will miss him. See you on the other side, Charlie.
