A letter from Charlie's family,
We would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of love and support during this time. Dad was very private about his professional life and we have been amazed at the large impact his life had on so many colleagues and students. He was the consummate conversationalist and academic with unlimited time for giving advice, guidance, and a bit of dry whit. Whether on the tennis court or in the classroom, he will be greatly missed by both his family and friends. Please feel free to share any of your favorite Charlie quotes or stories below.
On many occasions, he asked family and friends to forgo Christmas or birthday gifts for himself and asked instead for donations to be made to Doctors Without Borders. In that spirit, anyone interested is welcomed to make such a donation in his memory via the link below.
