Oh Wolfgang. This is so so sad. I am heartbroken. Such a strong warrior... such a fighter... my heart is truly broken. I had a vision - it was a strange vision - Katrina and I were at a table, Zach came in and poured something into our glasses.... we talked... and then.... you were there... I saw it.... Katrina gave you the biggest Hug!!.. And... Annalese came in... picked up a goblet and began to drink... and hugged you. Zach put his arm around you and brought you to Thorstein and all 3 of you raised a horn. My vision faded. But I knew that you were OK. - Erlandr

Charlie I am heart broken to learn of your passing, and will miss your encouraging words that kept me perusing my passion of bee keeping, your passion was contagious. Godspeed and fly free.

Charlie is one of my closest best friends. When we first met on the bee farm, we instantly became close. Our personalities are so similar and we immediately loved each other’s company.
He has such a passion for music and story telling. He is one of the most creative people I’ve ever met in my life. He loved when I would tach him about audio and music theory.
There’s a lot of things I was excited for me and Charlie to do. I wanted him to see me perform my music on stage. I wanted to record his entire album and work with him to make it public. I wanted to record all of his short stories. I wanted to meet his children and him eventually meet mine. But I know he’s looking down on us and he’s going to see me do all the things we were so excited about. I’m going to miss him so much.
I love you Charlie. Thank you for your bright happy soul. Thank you for always being so kind and thoughtful. Thank for always looking out for me. Thank you for making me a better person. You will forever be in my heart and mind. You are one of the best people I have ever met.

Charlie has to be one of my favorite people ever. Since the day I met him, always happy and ready for an adventure, loved working on music weather he was on drums or guitar. His energy filled the room. He loved his friends/ family and life. I will miss his smile and enthusiasm as well the time we spent just living. I. Really going to miss him, happy I was able to make it the one of the resent spilt milk shows and even more that he and the guys showed up to a wrestling event of mine.
Charlie I'll always love you. Thank you for everything.

Charlie has to be one of the kindest and most genuine person I have ever had the privileged of knowing. My boyfriend, Tony, introduced us when they worked together at Hudson Valley Bee Supply. Charlie was instantly a good friend with his enthusiastic energy. We would talk about Dungeons and Dragons and he’d share us some tunes he made with his band. But what he loved to talk about the most was his family and we were always so happy to hear how they were doing. We cherish all the times we were able to hang out with him. Thank you for being a great friend, Charlie, we appreciate you.

i came to know Charlie from my frequent visits to HVBS over the years. Charlie always and I mean always had that big wide smile on his face, he greeted me by name (i count it a privelege). His advice on bees was always to the point which i took as gospel. We shared our experiences at NYOH who have been providing excellent care for my health issues. I always felt encouraged after lingering at HVBS chewing the fat pn bees with him. I trust i was able to give him some solice also. He will be greatly missed. I trust he is dancing with the angels and caring for Gods bees, if not heaven then Vallhala. A warrior to the end

I was a customer at the Bee Supply. Charlie was so kind and engaging I would spend time just chatting with him long after I was done checking out. I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s a loss for everyone that had the pleasure of meeting him.

Charlie has been an absolutely amazing friend, living on the way to and from his job was such a treasure as it got me both quick and extensive visits that more often than not were the highlight of my day. We would play music, talk, and laugh.
(Oh boy did we laugh)
We came up with a podcast that not I will forever regret not actually starting with him. We started making music I will forever regret not making with him. That's just scratching the surface....
Charlie was a real friend. He was such an authentic display of human beauty that to know his was to know true loyalty, comraderie and love. There are no words to describe what we as the human species lost when Charlie passed. I can only hope the pure and un-muddled energy he has/had was disbursed into the universe. Because the world WILL become a better place if so.
Charlie is and always will be a beacon of unending love and hope for anyone who knew him. He questioned everything and in a unbiased and inquisitive manner. He wanted truth, truth about the universe, truth about spirit, mind, body and everything in-between. Charlie was, without a doubt the best of us. His loss will ripple through out hearts, our souls, and our minds infinitely. The hole left by Charlie's passing will never be filled. I've yet to meet someone whose unbridled sincerity could compare to his, and I feel even though I am trying cannot possibly convey the loss felt. Charlie is no longer with us in body, but we are doing him and ourselves a great disservice by not living to his standards each and every day. (Yes that means we all need to get our.... selves together and do.better than we have ever done)
I want to go on for hours, I want to share every conversation, every debate, every argument,and every hug we shared together. But until then, my very essence cries out "Charlie, I love you. Be safe, rock on and we will see you soon." And while we shouldn't cry over " spilt milk" this is truly an occasion crying is appropriate and likely necessary. Charlie, there are many many things i wanted to tell you, but until next time, I love you, and you will forever be with me in memory and in spirit. I will forever cherish our time together and I will do my best to always celebrate you rather than mourn you. Though for now you'll have to forgive me for doing the latter. Thank you for being in my life. I will see you soon my friend. <3

A few years ago, we had the absolute pleasure of spending Christmas Day with Charlie and his family at Melissa and Greg’s. Charlie enthusiastically shared his knowledge and love of beekeeping throughout the afternoon and gifted us with a jar of honey that we enjoyed in many cups of tea. Many hugs to his family at this very deep loss.

Words cannot express the saddest we are all feeling with Charlie's passing. A beautiful soul taken too soon. As a fellow beekeeper, Charlie was always a joy to see and talk to about bees or cowboy hats or music at Hudson Valley Bee Supply. Our heart felt sympathy to his family and loved ones. Rock on brother, rock on.

What a fantastic person I found Charlie to be. He was more than eager to find out how he could be helpful and so pleasant and kind. He always shared his insights with me as a bee keeper and I always felt like I had an education by the time we said goodbye.
Charlie was not so happy to tell me health issues were preventing him from handling his bees and I didn’t ask any questions. But I never got the feeling he was fighting this battle with cancer. He seems like he was completely grounded and had a fantastic support system both at home and at work. And I got all of this just the two times this past year that I went into the bee store!
I am so sorry for your loss. He will definitely be remembered with fondness.

Charlie was such a kind soul. I was lucky to have met him in this life. He could light up a room with his smile, laugh or many great stories. I am so heartbroken that he is gone and my heart goes out to his family and all those close to him. God bless you all and God Bless Charlie.

I will miss Charlie's smile at Hudson Valley Bee. He knew all of us, not only by customer name but as a person. He and his funnies, like Cathy BVenom, will be remembered. My deepest sympathy to Katie, the children, and his entire family.
