See Condolences

Dear Anne, Matthew and Chippi , May your beloved Husband , Father and Brother' s memory live on forever as this grove of trees will do .

Miss you dearly, Charlie and always will, but am comforted by the fact that you are in heaven and surrounded by a loving family. Thank you for being a wonderful brother to me and I thank God for allowing me to be at your side when you took your last breath.

Charlie was the first to welcome us with a warm smile into our first home. He was so kind to us and our dogs. We will surely miss him.

Dear Anne and family, our corner of the neighborhood is missing the laughter that came with any encounter with Charlie. That invaluable trait is already sorely missed. I don’t ever remember walking away from a conversation with Charlie without a smile on my face, as I tried to spar with a master who was not to be bested!! Our compassion to family and friends for their loss of a wonderful man.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.

Charles “Charlie” M. Mattia
