There is a lot more about Charles beyond what any obituary can encompass so if you post here your impressions, interactions with, and observations about Charles, I'll forward this thread to his wife.

I really can't say right now how much Charles meant to me. I met him in person only once in 2019 despite all our work together and he made quite an impression not only upon me but also upon my wife and her sister.

I could post a lot more about Charles but that will be for later because I'm already having trouble typing through the tears.

Wow, sorry about this.

DUmmie FUnnies Is great.

I first saw your writing back during the Monica and Bill years.

Hope you’re ok. May he rest in peace.

He loved languages

He was one of FRs original and brightest pun stars. A master wordsmith. Ξ± Punstari in the constellation of words.

RIP

*I am in complete SHOCK!*

I’m not.
He’s 71! At least he was.

I had been wondering where his posting was.

I got a great kick out of his stuff.

RIP

On a lesser note, he was the *pun master* around here.

Out of respect for your feelings on the man I decided to check him out on YouTube-10 minutes.

Let’s just say I found Pastor Manning more interesting.

The good news is the internet is FOREVER and so is Charles' BRILLIANT work for the DUmmie FUnnies. I remember I once asked Charles back in 2010 if he could write a song parody of "Some Enchanted Evening" from "South Pacific" called "Self-Recanted Evening." I figured it would take him about a week or at least a few days so imagine my SHOCK when he came came back with this just hours later:

Self-recanted evening,
When you see the flip-flops,
You may see where Pitt stops
Across the DUmmieland.
And somehow you know,
You know even then,
That sometime you'll see him
Recant once again.

Self-aggrandized weaving,
Bloviating windbag,
Going where the wind blows,
Not knowing where to stand.
He'll write to the left--
That's left to go right--
Will's so busy dancing,
He can't sleep at night.

Who can explain Pitt?
Who can tell you why?
Will gives two versions,
Neither one can fly.

Some fantastic FReeping!
Someone may be laughing,
You may hear the laughing
Among the DUFU fans.
And night after night,
When we go to bed,
That sound is our laughter--
Will Pitt's in our thread!

Once we have DUFUed
Will Pitt's swing and miss,
Then he'll discover
He can't recant this!

His sermons he posted here were an influence on my becoming a member of an LCMS Church.

Why are white Americans dying so soon? It seems a lot here lately have passed away in their late 60s or early 70s.
