I have great memories of Charlie and want to share one in particular which Jim McGarry and I have recently recalled. Jim, Charlie and I shared an apartment in Los Angeles sometime in the 1969-1971 timeframe. Charlie was an avid baseball fan and would watch Los Angeles Dodgers games on T.V. in the living room on Saturday or Sunday afternoons. He would sit on the couch in his bermuda shorts, no shirt, wear a Dodgers cap, drink beer, munch on peanuts and deposit the peanut shells on a newspaper spread out on his lap while rooting for the Dodgers. Naturally, Jim and I gave him grief about this to which he would always respond, "Jesus Christ, get off my f@*king back!" He was dating a girl named Dorothy who lived in Orange County, worked at the L.A. Times and eventually moved down that way. I am not sure I ever saw him after he moved and when I found his obituary, I was disappointed to learn that he had been living in Fairfield, CA not far from San Francisco where I lived for 30 years. Wish I had known. Rest in peace my friend, Charlie.
