Sorry to hear about Charlie's death- I have having prostate procedures the last few days and my mother Doris Clark passed away last Thursday- will miss seeing him coming into the pharmacy-liked giving each other a hard time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dolly and family, 

     We'll all remember Charlie, from the 1960's at the Crossroads Barber Shop to just last week at the Hairitage Barber Shop. We had to endure his lovable sense of humor for 50 years. When Charlie had an appointment he was always early hoping to get in a couple of insults to get things started early in the day. He was always up to something, such as putting a rock in Chris's chair to let her know that he had been there. When Jerry was there he always chastised him for a car deal or paint job that had gone wrong and claimed Jery was trying to take advantage of him. When Ron and I could see him getting out of the car coming in for an appointment with that smile on his face we knew he was up to something, we would lock the door on him and tell him he had the wrong day for his appointment. He would then start pounding on Ron's window, yelling at him demanding to be let in. Charlie was always well groomed, including having his hair styled at least once a month. But I think it was more than just being well groomed, it was about a special relationship we had with him for those fifty years. We will all miss him as I'm sure so many will. Good-bye Charlie, you were one of a kind!

Condolences to you and your Family Bill.

I have the greatest admiration for those who served in WW II.  I hope your father was proud of what he did for our country and freedoms we hold so dear. 

Dear Dolly,

Though you & I never met, I spent many a happy hour with Charlie at cardiac rehab in Rochester.  He claimed that you kept him in line though he was never "in line" at rehab forever talking, telling jokes & pranking his fellow attendees.  He lit up the space whenever he was there. He was a dear, dear man whose ever-smiling face will be sorely missed by those of us who had the privilege of making his acquaintance.  

May your happy memories of this wonderful man bring you peace during this time.

Peace to you & your family,

Liz Brigham (Fellow cardiac rehab patient)

Ma, Billie Boy and family,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Charlie Brown.  He was a wonderful man,  he will be dearly missed.  I am sorry that I am not able to attend,  Please know I am praying for strength for you all.  God Bless you during this difficult time.

Mary Buck Gobin, and family

Sorry to hear of a great friend passing, am in California right now but will be  thinking of you and your family 

Dear Dolly and family, We have fond memories of days past when we saw your smiling faces frequently.  You were good friends to mom and dad and such a blessing to me when she was ill and I needed help with our baby.

In later years when I saw Charlie, he still  had the same old smile and twinkle in his eye as when he was young.

I would hope you are well, Dolly. My phone number is 507-400-4938 if you would ever like to go out for coffee or ice cream sometime.  I'd love to see you.

With sincere sympathy,

Faye and Louie

Dollie-

I am so sorry to hear about Charlie.  He was such a great person and I will always remember his generosity and kindness while I was your neighbor. Stay strong, our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Mike (and emily and kids).

Aunt Dolly & family--  Uncle Charlie was a very special man, quick wit, never a straight answer, keep you on your toes kind of guy. All of us in the extended Ristow clan have great memories of our family get-togethers , Charlie often the center of our entertainment. He enjoyed life fully, raised a great family & we all loved him! Rest in Peace..

Cara, Dolly & Brown Family,

My condolences to you.  I have many fond memories of playing with Cara across the street.  He was a wonderful Grandpa - even to those of us who weren't his Grandchildren. 

Sincerely,

Katie Lair

My deepest sympathies to all of the Brown family. Great man and will be missed deeply. Peace.

Dollie and Family;

  So sorry for your loss. Charlie was such loving friend/family. We will miss his pranks. He has pulled over the years. He would put his cane on the scales and push down on it to make peoples weight higher and they would be so puzzled. They would get off and on the scale a couple of times and they would look at him and say have you step on this yet. He would reply I didn't have a problem.  We had great laughs. He had such a special bond with all of us here. He would tell me we are like family. He would always give me a hug! I love you Charlie and Dollie.

((((HUGS)))))

Dolly and family:

As much as we may have given to Charlie through the years of cardiac rehabilitation, he gave us that much in return.  Charlie always had a mischievous grin on his face and brought joy wherever he went.  Other patients often asked about him on the days he was absent from exercise.  Thank you for allowing us to share this journey with you.  May the Lord Jesus Christ surround you with love and peace during this time.

Sincerely,

Shawn Leth

Doris and Charlie;

   We're so sorry to hear about Charlie's passing.  Chris has always spoken fondly of him, and remembers his fun, kind spirit.  He'll be missed.
