in honor of Matthew.

Matt & Family,
So sorry to read about your Dad today. I remember my Mon bringing me into Varsity Sport Shop when it was Downtown and the myself going in to Burnet Ave. The Charles Family always treated us well and my Dad's softball team was sponsored by Varsity for years and I remember all the Charles Summer parties for all. He always welcomed me with a smile and a big Hello Wellsey. That I will never forget the personal way he treated everyone. Rest In Peace Mr C and God Bless You Too.

To Matty's Family,
I first met Matty when I was in high school buying sporting equipment at "Varsity". I got to know him well later in life when he and I were members of Lakeshore Yacht & Country Club. I send this message because I want to express to his family that I considered Matty to be the highest level of "gentleman" that I have ever met. I thought the world of him. I am in Florida and won't be able to make the services but my thoughts are with you.

Matty Charles was a true sportsman and an inspiration to many kids in Syracuse over the years. He called me "the gunner" over nearly 60 years ago.

I send my most sincere condolences to Matty Jr. and the rest of the Charles family.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Matt Charles. I met Matt & Harriet when I drew their blood at Laboratory Alliance @ Fayetteville. I usually called them both in at the same time, and we played a game, it was age before beauty or ladies first. I haven't worked there in 3 years, but saw Matt last fall and he didn't seem to recognize me. He was with his daughter and I told her to tell Harriet that I said hello. I always enjoyed the banter back and forth that I had with both of them.
