called to his heavenly home on October 24, 2010. Charlie was born in Lansing,

swim, enjoyed the outdoors and was known at Sunrise as an organized housekeeper who

tender care, attention and love for Charlie. Private services will be held at both
Sunrise Community and also in the Atlantic ocean off the Florida Keys to
spread Charlie's ashes in the ocean where he loved to swim. In lieu of flowers the
family asks that donations to be made to Sunrise Community Inc., 22300 SW
