My wife called me after she went to church this morning to tell me of Charlie's passing, I can safely say anyone that knew, associated with or were friends with the Scherer family growing up or otherwise has fond memories of their family, we had a number of good people around the neighborhood but they were right at the top. Charlie always remembered one thing of me as a kid playing soccer with them, it makes me sound mean which I am not but he always got a kick out of that and reminded me of it almost every time I would run into to them, it always put a smile on his face to remind me, I'm glad it made him smile.
Our condolences to the Scherer family.

Jim Laura and family, We are praying for your family. Charlie is now pain free and with the love of his life.  What a great funny guy he was and we're  lucky to have known him.

To the Scherer family.

I was truly saddened to read of Charlie's passing in the paper this morning.

Even though it's been almost 60 years since I was lucky enough to play on one of the many baseball teams he managed and coached - they are some of the fondest memories I have from my early teens.

I'm not sure of the last time I talked to Charlie, probably in the early 1970's at Steak n Shake on North Lindbergh Blvd.  He, Laura and his family were having dinner and we were able to chat about the J. E. Barry team he managed in the 1950's.

After all these years, I still have the wonderful memories of Charlie coaching the team, Laura keeping score and their son Charles working as our bat-boy.  They are certainly going to be missed by family and friends alike.

To Rob and the entire Scherer family, please accept my deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences.  My prayers and thoughts are with you during your time of sorrow.

As Joe Gould said:  "They may be gone but never forgotten."

In memory of Charlie, Laura and their son Charles.  The J.E. Barry Team of 1956.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

I'm sorry for your loss. The Scherers are in my prayers.

Sorry to hear about the loss of Charlie no Idea that Laura Had passed away Charlie is headed for that big race track in the sky where he will be with Laura once again. I will never for get those days 60 years ago when we would all pack into there house for koolaid and cookies after soccer or our baseball games. They may be gone but never forgotton.

You were not only my Father In Law but my Friend and for that I am truly grateful, I promise to try and pick more winners at the track but doubt if I will be as good as you
