It has taken me time to  gather my thoughts about Charlie and I can’t think about Charlie without 
thinking of wonderfull Patsy. They were one person to Elaine and me . They were our best friends for many years. We had a Wylie connection and a list of friends from here. To put it mildly we loved that man and his partner. Miss you both, love 
you both, our thoughts of you and your family fills out hearts.

The Mass of Christian Burial at Christ The King was a beautiful worship service and celebration of not only Charlie, but the entire Massoud family. Charlie and Patsy will live forever in the hearts and minds of their remarkable family and all  those who knew and love loved them. The Ford family is among the many fortunate ones who treasured their friendship and benefitted from their generous fun loving  spirit. 
With much love and gratitude, 
Karen Ford Cook

His business to this day makes fine quality furniture ,  was well respected in the furniture industry.

When I think of Charlie, I say to myself "This is what classy looks like".
He accepts you as a stranger but you leave as a friend.  God only knows that number of folks he touched with his smile, calmness, confidence, and kind words.  I know I am one.  He will be missed but will live forever in my heart.

Dianna, Denise & Chuck,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious father. He was such a wonderful man and will always be remembered for his kindness, generosity and huge, engaging smile!!! 
Guy and I always loved being around your darling parents because they were SO much fun!!
One of my favorite memories was often seeing them at Pregos. We loved martinis, they loved martinis & we always toasted one another from across the room. They  always stopped by our table to chat & give us a hug and occasionally, after they left, we were told a ‘stranger’ had bought our dinner! 
It was very obvious how your parents adored each other and we enjoyed seeing and learning from them how to be loving spouses.
Your parents loved all three of you and your families and I know y’all had so many wonderful memories that will live in your hearts forever!
Cheers to Charlie & Patsy…together again!🩷🩷

You’ll be so sorely missed Sekuru (grandpa) Charlie. We had the best conversations when I called from Colorado. Thank you for the laughs. 

Rest in perfect peace.  - Helen (boss lady Martha’s) daughter. 🤍

Charlie was a very special man. I still remember til this day the stories he would tell me.  About his childhood. When he told me these stories it would take me to the good old days. He would always say we didn’t have much but we were happy!  When Charlie would go  in to work at Massoud he always took time and the effort to go out to the plant to say hello to all his employees. Always telling jokes and making his employees laugh!  He would always ask me if everything was good and if we didn’t need anything. He would always tell me how proud he was that his son had taken interest in the company and had started running it. He would say that Chuck was doing a really good job. He was a very loveing and generous man. But I know he is very happy now with his sweet Patsy!

Charlie and my late husband Mort Raskin were friends for 50 years! Mort was a wholesale car dealer and Charlie had an upholstery shop and he repaired the upholstery before the cars were sold. Mort always knew  Charlie was a good businessman and helped him start Massoud Furniture.
We spent many fun evenings with Patty and Charlie dining and. Listening to good music.
RIP my sweet friend.

I grew up with the Massoud family and have loved them all. I am truly sorry for your loss and wish that I could be with all you to celebrate such an amazing life.  I pray that your memories bring a smile to your face and and a warmth to your heart.  God be with all of you.

My name is Charles Massoud. And the now late Charles Massoud, RIP, called me about twenty years ago curious to see if we were related. He had stumbled on my name on the web. We had a very nice conversation, and I explained to him that we could not be related. My last name was inherited from my paternal grandfather whose first name, Massoud, was adopted by my dad and his brothers as their family name. And since I knew all my cousins by that name, we could not have a common ancestry.  Unfortunately, we never met. He appeared to have had a good life and a successful career. May he Rest in Peace.

Charlie was the fist “cool dad” I met some 50+ years ago and remained one until his passing.  He was a special man to all he met.

Denise and Randy, it's Fran and Don, joining you in your grief for your dad's passing but giving thanks for the wonderful life that he obviously lived!  Know that we will be keeping you in our prayers each day and lifting you up as you enter the necessary work that lies ahead of you in saying goodbye.

The entire Fellowship Class is at your service however you need us.

Sending you our love!

Dianna,
Our deepest condolences on the loss of your father. Your family was blessed to have such a wonderful man as a dad. It is said, “Children are a reflection of their parents,”  he must have been a great person.

My deepest condolences to the Massoud family. He wanted to be addressed as Charlie by me and he called me ‘Boss lady Martha’ when he remembers my name😁
Loved to talk with people!
Will miss you but you’re in a better place…
No more pain!

Dear Diana, Tommy, and Massoud family,

Sending my deepest sympathy to all of your family for the loss of your father/father in law/ grandfather. You certainly are blessed by his life here, and will be blessed by his prayers from Heaven. May God bless and comfort you all.   

Sincerely,
Shelley Massad Dill
