Lynn,
What wonderful memories I have of you and Charley coming to Little Rock when we lived there. We laughed so much, we talked out everyone's problems, we just enjoyed each other's company.
Although I met Charley in 1968 I can still remember him swinging his long lanky self out of that forestry truck out at the office. You know, lots of men could take lessons from Charles Thomas on being a gentleman, and an honest upstanding human. What a joy and honor it was to call him Uncle Charley! We need more Uncle Chaley's in this world. Love you!!

Mrs Thomas, praying that God comforts you in the coming days. I always enjoyed visiting with you and Charles at the dairy bar regularly. The heaven's gained a very special angel, but Charles will be greatly missed here as he was liked by all. Always a very kind and considerate man. God bless you and your family.
