What sad news indeed!

I'm gonna miss you, Charlie - You've been a good friend!

We're all reaching that point in life where our dear friends begin falling 
away and our lives are truly diminished when we have to say goodbye. I'm two 
years older than Charlie so it's easy for me to say he left us much too 
soon.

You're very special to us, Mr. Hooks, and you leave a big hole right in the 
middle of our small community.

Sadly,

Bill Gunter
