Well said RW.

A man of very limited vision in the literal sense. And a man of tremendous vision in all other ways. It is difficult to be sad about the passing of someone I never met and someone who lived well into extra innings. And yet I am.

In my mentally assembled list of board of directors of my life....Charlie is definitely way up there as the chairman of the board. His mental clarity and pragmatic approach to life is extremely clarifying and useful during difficult times in my life. And to add he is also a very generous human being, can't remember which university it was but he bought a huge piece of land besides the university from a family that held it for decades and immediately donated it to the university the very next day. Such generosity and yet largely unknown to the public shows a man of such humility and the lack of the need to have his good deeds known to the world. Unreal act of selflessness. I'm just so full of admiration and respect for this man. May he rest in peace knowing the good he has contributed to this world will live on via his teachings and philanthropic contributions.
