Many fond memories flood my mind when I remember Charles. From his quick wit to his insights on politics, Charles could always generate a smile or laugh from anyone. We had some great times over the years on rides at Hobcaw Plantation. Your always welcomed my visits with a smile, and our conversations were always peppered with laughter and ranged from the light-hearted to the deeper principles of personal character and integrity. I feel sure if there are horses in Heaven, you’re having a ball! You are and shall be dearly missed my brother.
