Received this today.

In case you didn't receive first e-mail. Charlie suffered a traumatic
brain injury due to a fall at his house Friday night and was air-lifted to
Huntsville hospital for treatment.


First let me say that this has been a most trying time for all of us.
Last night the swelling of Charlie's brain destroyed his pulmonary gland. As
many of you know Charlie was outgoing and would do anything for you he
could. He was the person you hear about that would give the shirt off his
back. Charlie was also an organ donor which brings me to this update. The
Charlie we all knew and loved is gone. What remains is the vessel that
carried this wonderful person. As I write, Diane and the family are consulting
with the organ donor center to prepare this process. Diane has said her
last goodbyes and I believe at peace. She is a very strong and resilient
woman as many of you know. Things I want to note when I write this at
Charlie's desk are this. Charlie was a Christian who believed in God and prayer.
As I look around his desk at the many things he has on them there was
always one book that stayed here. The Holy Bible. He held Sunday worships in
his house and received daily scripture lessons. On many occasions we would
talk about religion and Charlie led his life in Christian virtues. Let
there be no doubt in anyone's mind where Charlie is now. Other things I
notice is the patriotism he felt to his core. Charlie was a Vietnam Veteran and
there are two American flags, a Marine Corp flag and of course a little
yellow flag with a snake on it. You saw that one when as you sat across the
desk talking to him. On his wall behind him he proudly displayed his
certificates he had obtained from various prestigious schools along of course
with his military ribbons he received while serving in Vietnam. Charlie
loved his family and friends. You can see this with the numerous pictures his
children, grandchildren and friends everywhere around. And of course he
was a loving husband that adored his wife. Diane's pictures surrounded him
along with cards that were given to one another. I don't have to mention
his expertise in the field due to the enormous library he has and on this
note what a tremendous loss we have suffered by losing him. Charlie led a
fulfilling and exciting life that most people strive to achieve. I don't
have any arrangement details as of now but will be fourth coming as they are
finalized. Please continue to hold calls right now. If any of you would
like to contribute personal stories or anecdotes about Charlie please feel
free to add to this e-mail and share with the daily funnies crew. We will
all miss our friend. God bless - Hal
