Fieldgrade was a regular guy in a world increasingly filled with guys who are anything but.
I'll try to emulate that...

Very sorry to hear this. I don't post a lot but I read this forum and others daily and everything Charlie posted was well worth the time of reading. RIP Charlie, this place is diminished without you.

I've been thinking about him but didn't realize he was this close.
Talked to Charlie once on the phone(several years ago) and he was straight to the point and told it exactly how it was.
No bull chit straight up old school dude.
Cool as hell.

Oh man, I really hate to hear this. Like others, Charlie was a friend who I met on another forum and we immediately liked each other.
Charlie, you will always be remember by me, thank you for your friendship.

Sometimes you get some news that feels like a kick in the gut... hate to hear this so very much.

I am saddened to learn of Charlie's passing, and I will miss his presence here. He was posting after his last hospital trip, so I had assumed that he hard turned the corner to recovery. I can understand his desire to keep his situation from being common knowledge, and I hope that he rests in peace.

Lonny,
Thanks for letting us know...Charlie was and will remain to me what is great about the Fire. A good man, great trapper and hunter and a man of his word through his actions and deeds.

Well shiiit. And a couple of other words too.
Thanks for the info Lonny, I knew somewhat of his health problems, but as you said, he kept it close to his vest just how bad it was. I was hoping to visit him again this coming spring/early summer as I plan on being in the general area then.
Glad you had a home set up for Sally, I had the pleasure of her company when I visited too.
Sometimes things I read here just suck...........bigly.
Bye Charlie, who I'm proud to have called a 'fire friend.
