Charlie was a NYC Steamfitter for 50 years as well as being former co-owner of Victor's Stationary & Candy Store in the Throggs Neck section of the Bronx where he was born and raised.
He was completely devoted to God and his family. He loved being a Fitter, Playing with his Grandchildren, Tanning in the pool, Fishing, Gardening, Tinkering and making MacGyver look like an amateur. He was also very fond of the chipmunks and literally had them eating out of his hands!
We are extremely blessed to have had him in our lives, and we will continue the legacy of Faith that he has instilled in us all. He is deeply loved and missed, until we meet again.
