I was shocked to hear of the passing of Charles. I worked with him at the City of Port Arthur when I was Director of Public Works and he worked in the Water Utilities Department. We always got along well and collaborated on several projects from time to time, and I enjoyed working with him and admired his attention to detail.
Thoughts and prayers to all of him family.
