It’s sad to see that my former classmate, Charles, has passed. I had heard that was having health issues, but was not aware of the severity. Charles and Tommy were always upbeat and fun to be around. Kind thoughts and prayers are going out for Charles and his extended Durham family. May God provide strength and comfort for the difficult days ahead, and fond memories for the years to come.

Condolences to Charles' family. I graduated with both Charles and Tommy. Both were really good guys and played mean guitars. I hope that your memories of Charles carry you for years to come! Rest in Peace, my friend!!!
