I had the pleasure of working with Charl as he and Melissa's cruise booking agent.  I was very sad to hear the news.  He was always so kind and pleasant to work with.  My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to Melissa and the rest of his family as well as his friends.

I'm in shock this is a huge huge loss for our community this is one of those times where words are just not adequate. Charl served on the Board of Directors of the Columbia City Ballet for many many years.  He was always the word of reason,wisdom,and expertise.  He wasn't afraid to tackle those tough issues , but always with a glimmer in his eye and that dry humor .What a huge loss for our community.May his family know how greatly he was treasured and love.

I worked with Charl while at FCCS.  I appreciated his deep knowledge of the Farm Credit System and the time he always afforded me every time I visited the Bank!

My deepest condolences to Charl’s family during this most difficult time! 

With respect,

Don Sicard

Charl was my 1st cousin.  My fondest memories of him were that he was always such a gentleman, so kind, so thoughtful.   He loved his Mother, Daddy & sister so much! He was a wonderful family man, a devoted husband & father.

I remember the day he took off work to take his mother to the nursing home in Loris to visit with her sister,  Lula Mae, who was near death. It meant so much to Aunt Betty & especially my Mother.  I recall how he lovingly took care of his mother that day.

I extend my condolences to his wife & children during this difficult time

May God grant you all strength & comfort.

I WORKED WITH CHARL FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND NEVER HEARD HIM SAY A DEROGATORY WORD AGAINST ANYONE.  CHARL WAS TRULY A GENTLEMAN , EXCELLENT CO-WORKER  ,AND FRIEND. 

I am in disbelief of the sad passing of Charl. Missy please no that you and Claire and Emma are in my thoughts and prayers and May Gods enormous strength help you and sustain you all during these difficult times

I was so sad to hear the news of this tragic accident that took Charl's life way too soon. I remember meeting Charl & Melissa after the auction where we all bought our Vista condos, at The Lofts At Printer's Square. They were delightful and fun neighbors. I recall an impromptu progressive happy hour one holiday season with The Butlers spur of the moment knocking on my door.  How fun! And also some lovely get togethers in their beautiful penthouse condo. 
 I felt so lucky to live in a building with people like them.  I remember Charl being gracious, gregarious, and very quick witted! He was such a brilliant man. I admired him and enjoyed the times we all socialized as neighbors. Wishing Melissa and all of your family peace and comfort. I hope all of your good memories will help ease your grief at this most difficult time and in the future.  With deepest heartfelt sympathy 💗 Christine Duncan 

Melissa and all Charl's family:

One of the observations of author N. N. Taleb is never to confuse apparent stability with the absence of volatility or variance.
The information on Charl is tragic but he was pursuing his love of new experiences, sights and sensations with you. Rhoda and I know you will miss his full-of-life presence.  We extend condolences.



My heartfelt sympathy and prayers to the family, May fond memories and God’s loving words found at John 5:28,29 carry you through and beyond this difficult time of mourning, 

Such a pleasure to be apart of Charl and Missy’s life.. Our ears ring… 
“Hey, I need you to help me surprise Missy…”
“Hey, I’m putting you on notice, ok?”
“This is what I want you to do…” 
You and Gary need to try this red wine..” 
“See you when we get back.” 
            Instead we will join him in eternity,  praise God for that.
Gary and I will miss Charl’s subtle laugh, the cheer in his demeanor and his bright eyed gaze… 
No need to mention his innate ability to pass along genuine wisdom.

Charl, was a great friend and colleague.  He will truly be missed. I loved his sense of humor and will never forget that grin. I was honored to work  with Charl on many Farm Credit System work groups. We always made sure to sit with each other.  I will never forget the wonderful dinner my husband and I had with Charl and Missy in Austin, Texas. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.  Amie Pala and the Farm Credit Bank of Texas. 

Emma & Claire,
Enjoyed being w/ your parents. Your dad could find his way around any city. His eyes always lit up when he talked about the two of you. Hang on to those memories. 
Harry & Kathy

My prayers for Uncle Charlton, Melissa and his children,  grandchild and the entire extended family.   This is such a tragedy!  My heartfelt condolences.  May he rest in peace.
