My favorite memory of Charles is when he was a kid he would do the monkey dance while singing Just like Romeo and Juliet. He was fun to be around even as a kid! 

About a year ago, I met Charles at a dinner / financial seminar. He was very straight-forward in his presentation. I found Charles  to be very knowledgeable and trustworthy.  He impressed me so much that I was comfortable with him handling my finances. In a short amount of time, Charles was not only my advisor, but became my friend. A totally warm and engaging person, he was a joy to be around. My condolences to his family. I am praying for Angela and Easton to have comfort and peace. With sympathy, Mario Zaccagnini     

What can I say about Chuck other than he was one of a kind! I’ve known him and Angela since I was 20 years old which makes it 18 almost 19 years that I’ve known them.  I met Chuck and Angela when they were still Chuck Edmonds and Angela Hemphill.  I celebrated their engagement the weekend after with they and the Tynan family at Buca Di Beppo and was even asked to be a bridesmaid, and was,  in their amazing wedding. I still to this day tell people they had one of two weddings I’ve ever been to that I actually thought had GREAT food! ❤️🍽  Family style Italian in a beautiful ball room setting 🍝 🥗 Right after the wedding we all headed to Vegas to celebrate TOGETHER as a large group! I remember sitting next to the pool at the Mandalay Bay and asking Chuck how it finally felt to be married after all those years as a bachelor lol.  He said ‘it’s like waking up after getting a tattoo while you’re drunk and saying…damn that’s still there!’ 🤣🤣 but, the truth is he would of been nothing without Angela.  She was by his side through thick and thin for 20+ years and they were a staple couple to any social circle they attended.  I was able to introduce my best friend and them over 15 years ago and since merged an amazing group of friends and loved ones that continued to grow as those two couples moved into adjacent neighborhoods.  I loved ‘the hood’ that then formed and it combined with many memories  before those times as well as since I’ve moved to California and that will make Chuck an unforgettable part of my life.  I was fortunate enough to see he and Angela every single time I’ve been home and that will be something I am grateful for the rest of my life.  From family dinners, to tail gates, to country concerts, to outings on the boat and many hundreds of times in between I’ll always remember the final time I saw Charles.  A Mexican restaurant last June the night before I last flew back to California.  I’ll forever treasure the fact that we always made time for each other each

We all knew and loved Chuck for over 30 Years because of his friendship with William. When Ralph and I married in 1991, Chuck painted the "Just Married" sign with two Swans and our wedding date.  This has been a terrible shock for all of us. God's Blessings to you and Easton. We have you in our prayers. The flowers are from: Bill & Laurie; Michelle (Luke and Nathan); Christopher & Stephanie (Arizona); Cheryl & Ray Jones (Genesis); Dorothy Shiplett, Kathleen and the late Ralph Shiplett. 

The last time I spoke with Chuck it was a beautiful, warm Sept. Day 2020. Chuck and Angie "almost" bought our house.  Chuck 's sense of humor always kicked in and he said he was happy he could just carry their furniture down because we were neighbors who lived within a block of each other. 
Unfortunately, our house was not the right one for Chuck and his family.  He was worried I would be mad. I laughingly told him, " I tried to tell u that from the beginning."
We shook hands,  exchanged a hug and parted friends.
I have moved but will always remember what a great person and neighbor I had the pleasure of knowing and walking with for awhile until it was time for Chuck to say good bye and move on.
Peace Chuck! 
 


I cannot put into words the loss I feel for Angela and Easton.  My first memory of Charles was when he signed my birthday card from the office saying I’m so happy you are here!  It warmed my heart and I knew that he was an awesome person!  And he proved it over the past 3 years..he was an amazing person and he will be missed immensely. Thank you Charles for being a friend and co-worker that I will always remember….rest in peace my friend and know that we will take care of Angela and Easton as best we can💕

We loved Charlie and who wouldn't love him.  We felt that his  smiles and  cute demeanor were wonderful. A very good  person left us and he will certainly be missed.  So sorry for everyone's loss.

Obviously everyone loves Chuck for being the life of the party but our memory is a bit of his softer side. 
     Shortly after our son passed away, we saw Chuck at the meeting spot, the sand bar of course and he said to us that he heard a nasty rumor we might be moving. At the time we couldn’t decide if we wanted to stay in the house. Next thing he said, “well, we sure will miss you and I hope you stay”. 
    Charles, that helped us make our decision to stay. Our community of friends here is unlike anything else and sir …. YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.  Give the kid a hug for us ❤️❤️❤️

Grew up with this great guy ever since grade school. From playing all sports even teammates on the high school football team, to racing mini bikes in his yard to getting countless tickets as he burned rubber in his Cobra Mustang blaring "Living on a Prayer' throughout our highschool years, he did so looking slick in the latest fashion. 
Great guy, great family, great Friend. 

I'm not sure where to begin, but I feel like I should share something from my many memories with Chuck over the years. I met Chuck nearly 24 years ago. He owned Toarminas pizzeria and my cousin got me my first real job there since they were friends. Over the years I became close with Chuck and Angie. I was fortunate enough to be there for their special day as a bridesmaid. 

One memory that sticks in my head is when Chuck and Angie had a get together at their house. Chuck walked out onto the deck from the sliding door. The screen was closed and Chuck walked right through it and the screen came with him. Chuck was so mad that he wrestled with the screen and then tried to throw it off the deck lol. Not sure if you habe ever seen a screen door fighting the wind to be thrown, but it was extremely funny. No one could help themselves but to laugh even though he was so mad and probably embarrassed about it. He did end up laughing but not before he did the angry Chuck face, talking through his clinched teeth and shaking his face about that damn screen door lol. 
There is no one more perfect to be paired with him than Angie. She always knew exactly how to handle those moments with him and have the best responses to whatever he was mad at, to level him out.  

I will forever miss the phone calls checking in on sick family members.The generosity he always shared when people we know were in need. 
I will always wish we all went bowling more  and had more double date nights like we did years ago. Chuck will forever be missed. We definitely lost one a good one. 

Thank you, Chuck, for all you did for us during these last couple of years.  We couldn't have done it without you.  We will miss your smiles and good wishes and we will miss you too.

This one time, at band Camp, ........
I met my best friend,  Charles Edmonds, and together we shared an incredible adventure through life enjoying so many wonderful times that I will always treasure for those memories are truly gifts.
