Ray, my deepest sympathy.
From: Brenda Morin
My deepest condolences to all the family. Charlie was always kind to me as a kid growing up on Walters lane and we had a ball playing street hockey. Charlie was always fun to be around and I will miss him dearly.
The last time I was home I went to visit Aunt Janet and that visit it turns out it would be the last time I would see or speak to Aunt Janet and Charlie.That day I talked with Aunt Janet, Charlie and Richard and we shared a few good laughs.
May he rest in piece. See you on the other side cousin.

Doran Family
I am sad to learn of Charlie’s passing. I have so many fond memories of times together with him from watching the Habs at our place because true fans like us needed to stick together through the good and not so good times, fishing in Gull Lake with him and Uncle Chick and the never ending floor hockey games. I will miss him. May his memory and gentle nature comfort all who knew and cared about him.

So sad to hear of the passing of Uncle Charlie. So glad we got to see him again a few years ago. It was nice talking and having tea with him under the gazebo and a walk up the lane with him and gizmo. Forever in our hearts 💕
So sorry for your loss
We were good friends and I always remember his smile, and our many adventures

I have many fond memories of cousin Charlie not the least of which was playing ball hockey at the top of the lane.
