Charlie was my cousin, five years older. I remember playing touch football with him in a vacant lot next to the old Medical Center on McGowan Street. Charlie had a good sense of humor. He liked to kid around with you. We sometimes served mass together. He had a dog that lived under their house that I was afraid of; I was never able to pet it.
Rest in peace, Charlie.

With deepest sympathy on your loss. Mr. Hanson did our taxes when he was with Russell, Brown, & Co. and for a time while at Arthur Young. He would always come to Carlisle.and we so enjoyed the visits.

Mary Anne, Mike, Lisa, Lynn and Families, With such a large family and so spread out, it is sad that I did not get to know all of you. My pastor once told me that part of the joy of Heaven is being with all of our loved ones, and that because of that, for those who are already there, we are already with them! I pray that knowing this will help take away the pain of your loss. Know that we are praying that each day you will be surrounded by God's eternal love and strengthened by His grace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Wishing you God's peace, Charles' cousin, Bev (Hanson) Crookham, and husband, Bill.

Because I am sick I could not attend the rosary tonight. I won't be able to make it to the Mass tomorrow. I have said 3 Masses for the family and the repose of your father at Carmel. I will keep all in my prayers.

Charlie will truly be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.
Pfeifer Camp is a wonderful place, and Thursday morning breakfasts during camping sessions have not been as enjoyable as they were when Charlie attended.
God Bless You,

Mr. Hanson"s smile will never be forgotten.It was a priveledge to care for him while at Chenal Heights Nsg.and Rehab.He was well respected and loved. The first time I met him and Mary I knew there was something special that God had sent to my path/journey in this life. His eyes lit up when his wife came to visit or when we would have little talks about her.He will be missed I am sure but never forgotten.
