To Charlies family; brother Gerald and wife, sister Charlene and husband, and wife Ruth, whom he was so proud of! Last time I saw him, he told me he was “very happy being an old married man!”. There are so many good memories and coming of age stories.. the bonfire parties, guitar playing and singing, the VW van, concerts, camping, Kawasaki motorcycle trips to west Virginia, bugs in my teeth (yuck!), catching my first fish, my first apartment. He even built me an outside potty for camping once! The consumate gentleman! Many “heady hippie” conversations over beer, white lightening, etc. at Larry’s tavern or wherever he was! He was a kind and gentle giant. He used to say “when I die I hope they say “I left good dust behind”. If you can hear me now, Charlie, you most certainly did. You’ll always have a place in my heart. I recently lost my husband Jerry of 27 years to cancer; life’s certainly not easy. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely and respectfully yours, Lynn Sullivan Cupp .

Wow, so sorry for the loss of Charlie, hadn't seen him in years. But, he sure was the life of the party back in the 70's and 80's . He had the most beautiful smile and eyes. Through you I got to meet your brother Gerald who married a very dear friend of mine. RIP.
Sorry for the loss of your brother Gerald!

I'm so sorry for your loss. From one eagle lover to another, chas, we will miss you very much on the Dale Hollow Eagle chat community and hearing your farm bird stories.
BGG Dianne Wehrman - Apr 7, 2020
We all loved, respected & prayed for chas.... That's how he signed in to Johnny's Dale Hollow Cam. He never had his name with a capital so I'd change it back to 'chas' if it was changed. He sure fought the good fight and we were all pulling for him. So sorry he didn't get to spend another summer with us not to mention with his family. Bless & Comfort his family dear Lord.
Gwyn Brown - Apr 7, 2020
Chas, as he was known to us in our shared eagle community, was a much-loved and much-respected member of that community. His spirited conversation and his naturalist spirit does and will remain with us.
