I just found out about my uncle Charles passing! He was a great man. Uncle Charles was not only my dad (Robert Sherrard) brother in law but he was also my dad's best friend. Before my dad passed away he would tell me that he was going to Uncle Charles to play the guitar, dad said that he taught him a lot about playing the guitar, I know dad enjoyed spending time with him and thought the world of him.. Uncle Charles will truly be missed my prayers go out to all of his family and friends!!! If there is anything I can do please let me know!!!
