So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. We knew we were one of the "big kids" when on that "special" day Charlie would bring us our very own baseball glove. Oh what a happy day... We also loved it when Charlie would take us to the Oasis to swim; he sure could swim! To this day, I think of his sage advice about how to not hit your head on the end of the pool when doing the backstroke. Charlie was a steadfast neighbour, and he will always be fondly remembered. - Posted by: Alison & Ron Sellen & Guy Wilde (Neighbours) on: Jan 01, 2017
