My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Charlie. I was so sorry to hear of his passing away. He was our neighbor for quite a few years when Jan was still living and we lived next door to them. Always willing to lend a hand if you ever needed anything. I loved to sit and visit with him, while we enjoyed a beer or two and all his witty thoughts. R.I.P. Charlie till we meet again.
Jean Archdale says

In person. Love all my family dearly both near and far.

You was one of my dads best friends. I remember going hunting with him and my dad when I was younger. He was always hanging out with my dad telling stories. I will miss seeing him around! He was a great guy! Prayers to his family ❤️

Chan Man,
I’m so sorry to hear of your passing. I have such good memories of visiting, laughing and just hanging out having fun at the Cut.
I’ll always remember your story of your one-legged dog Lucky. Actually he had 3 legs, I was just drunk and remembered the story wrong.
Alona, my very first friend, I’m so sorry. I wish I could’ve been there for you. I love you my friend. Your dad did too, we would occasionally drunk dial you when we couldn’t settle an argument . Haha. Your dad was awesome and I’ll always have good memories of him.
Farewell my friend Chan Man. See ya later.
Traci

Aunt Roberta and Uncle Ted says
Dear Clampitt Family….I really got to know Charles when I watched him and Frank, Ken, Joan one summer. He always had the most wonderful smile. He looked a lot like his Grandpa Track. He would crawl up in Grandpa’s hospital bed at brother Frank’s house. He didn’t say much but both were contented to just enjoy the moment/company. Charles I think enjoyed having the Clampitt trait of story telling with humor of course. My brother Frank would have Charles out doing summerfallowing with the “Cat” when he was 11. That was before there was air conditioning, “tunes” or cell phones. I am sure he had stories about his Aunt Roberta’s cooking. But he never complained and always had that smile. In later years because of us never living in the same area we rarely saw each other but would make phone calls to each other about every six months. Charles really missed his Jan. We surely will miss you. Have a great time with all the family members that has left us. Much Love Aunt Roberta
