Dear Kate and family,
Please accept my deepest sympathies. Charlie was a good man like my father, Bernie, who also left us too soon and quite unexpectedly. I have so many wonderful childhood memories of being in your home watching the Flyers game and staying out very late on school nights when the Flyers were in the play-offs.Charlie was so nice to my brother and me. He always spent a lot time talking to us and giving us soda when he knew we were not allowed to drink it! We even watched our first "R" rated movie at your home because you had cable and the adults were partying at the table and not paying attention to what we were doing!! Charlie was also my Confirmation Sponsor. I was so proud to have him standing next to me in Church because he looked so handsome and was so happy to be there!
I will continue to cherish those memories. Your strong friendship with my parents and the rest of the "gang" are admirable and rare. Kate, I will keep you close in my thoughts during this difficult time. Charlie will be sorely missed but left an indelible mark on everyone.
Much love,
Sandra Phliponeau (Severino)
