Karen,

Words can't express how sad we are to learn of Charlie's passing. He will be missed for his kind and gentle nature, wonderful recipes and contributions, his sense of humor, his "B.G." (big grin), and so much more!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Eat.at and the old forum, especiallly Charlie. My sincere condolances to his family and also to his brothers & sisters here at the board. He will be missed.

Oh, what a loss for his family and for us. He was always so kind, and so many of his recipes

are in my T&T folder, that my family will also remember him for a long time.

OMG! How in creation did I miss this?! I am sick at heart. W/out charlie I wouldn't be able to

consistently make decent caramel. I will sorely miss this excellent chef who was only too happy to go out of his way to explain cooking terms to me and answer my myriad culinary questions.

My condolences to Karen and the rest of Charlie's family during this sad time. Sniff.

Charlie was such a sweetheart. His expertise in the kitchen was phenomenal. I don't get here much anymore but I have wonderful memories of my friends here!!! It saddens me so to hear of such things.
