I am so sad to learn tonight of Charlie´s passing, unfortunately after his service was held. That does not lessen, however, the heartfelt sorrow at his loss and the wonderful memories of fun we had sailing for all those years. Lorraine, please feel my hug of condolences and my best wishes to you for what will be difficult times ahead without one of life´s truly honourable characters and allround nice guy who would do anything for anyone.

So sad to hear that Charley has passed way. My dad and his worked together in the NZR, Balclutha. We both were together in the same classes at primary school and Charley was a great lad with a good sense of humour.
