At the hearing of Charles' passing I was somewhat shocked since I had visited him a few weeks ago. I was aware he had several health problems. Charles was a very faithful member of the Lawrence New Horizons Band and also of the sax quartet of John Bechen, Elaine Roberts, Clyde Bysom, and John Roper. This group added very special music within our band concerts. He was a very talented musician and we will miss him. His presence always made the group better. His solo, "Persuasion," played last year was an excellent rendition of his talent. John Towner, Director of New Horizons Band
