    My condolences to Charlie’s family. I met Charlie at Goderich Place, he sat at the same table as my mother, Marie McKenzie (deceased Dec 2016). I had many a meal at that same table and got to know Charlie. He was one of the kindest men I have ever met. He always greeted me with a smile and a kind word. He will be missed by all who ever had the honour to know Charlie. Sincerely, Donna Greer

    So sorry to hear about the passing of your father Charlie. I know he was a great friend to my father Clifford. Have many fond memories I love getting a ride back and forth at lunch time back in the days of public school. Seems like parents will last forever but only in our memories

    We are so very sorry to hear about the passing of Charlie this week and are feeling for you at this incredibly sad news. Charlie (and your mom) was such a giving person, donating of his time and love to so many over so many years. Many people were lucky to have them both drive them to appointments over several decades now. I retired from CPRI in 2012 after 30+ years and was fortunate enough to have Roxie stop in to see me on a few of her many runs with children. They were both so selfless. I remember also their caring for grandma and grandpa Ball for so long in their/your home when we were children and visiting. Greg and I send our love, Larry and Kevin and families, and are praying for you in the days ahead. He will rest peacefully …

    Larry & Kevin. Long before you two were around I used to spend my summers in Goderich – my dad and your mom were cousins. Your parents were the nicest of people and went out of their way to keep me, my Aunt Vera and my many female cousins entertained – we played board games, card games and went to the drive-in on a regular basis.

    I really miss not being around much as we all grew older and went our separate ways. My thoughts will be with you during this time in your lives.

    I wish to offer my sincere condolences to all of Charlies family. I first got to know Charlie at Goderich Place where I was a volunteer. He was such a gentleman and a real sweetheart! After he moved to Maitland Manor I would see him 3 days a week and he was always so thankful to have a visit. He always saw the best in people and was happy for everything you did for him. I will treasure in my heart the last time I saw him and he gave me 3 hugs that day and thanked me for always having the time to visit him. I will certainly miss my hugs and little visits but I will know Charlie is now where he wants to be soaring with Roxie. God bless you Charlie you were one of a kind!
