It was my privilege to offer pastoral care to Charlie at St. Anns Home. My own son graduated recently from the College of Holy Cross and when I brought Charlie communion, we'd always have a little chit-chat about Holy Cross and invariably part with a "go Crusaders". I found some information from his playing days at HC and he definitely perked up on hearing some of the "old names"... though his wonderful professional life was behind him by the time he spent time at St Anns, I could see his kindness, humility, and generosity on display very clearly... those values continued strong in his life. I also work at the Abbey of the Genesee and an old classmate, Eddie "Brother Christian" Walsh always spoke very highly of him and prayer for him as well.
God bless, and rest in peace, "Chuckin" Charlie...
