I worked alongside Charles for many years, he was a great friend and incredibly loyal. Charles possessed a keen sense of justice, life was never dull with Charles at The Heights.I will always remember him with fondness, a man blessed with a wonderful mind, a great sense of humour, sometimes mischievous in nature, with a love of all things English. A true patriot. He held an inexhaustible knowledge on music,food ( a liking for what I would call rotten cheese) and wine. He was such good company, we laughed a lot together, he always had an interesting viewpoint and forensic mind for detail. i often sought his counsel. I feel privileged to have known him. RIP Charles
