To the Family of Charlie Bright:
Charlie was a wonderful human being with a zest for life and a great spark for helping others. He always had a smile on his face and was quick with a kind word. We spent many a time at our shop talking and laughing with him. Later, after his retirement we would often run into him, and he was the same old Charlie, smiling and hugs all around.
Our community has lost a wonderful example for our young people to follow, and a truly great friend.
RIP Charlie. We will keep you always in our hearts.
Linda and Rick

I first met Charlie when I was in Junior Achievement. He did so much for that organization and was such an inspiration to me. He will be missed by so many in the community and will be remembered as a wonderful, giving man. Condolences to his family. God Bless.

Our family has a lot of amazing memories with Charlie He just brightened up our neighborhood. From watching him ride his horses thru our neighborhood to swimming in his pool. He was an amazing loving, caring and nurturing man. Always there if you needed him. He always kept his faith no matter what he was confronted with. He will be greatly missed. God Bless!

Charlie will be missed by so many. He had such a long, active, rich and ecclectic life that touched the entire community. His infectious smile, good humor and many stories made him many a friend. To his family I can only say hold on to all your wonderful memories of this wonderful man.
