Charles was a good friend for nearly 40 years. Our first point of contact was fly fishing on the Bow River, which we did together first in about 1985. He then introduced me to the spring creeks of Paradise Valley in Montana, and later to his beloved steelhead fishing on the Bulkley River. Later we talked about baseball, hunting, and more fishing. He was a quiet man, but a fine story teller. He was kind and generous, and I miss him.
