My thoughts and prayers go out to Betty and the entire Parrish family. Charles was always a favorite, I even named my son after him. Charles was a sweet and kind man. He and Bard always liked to go as Rick and Fabian in high school and now they are together again in heaven. He will be greatly missed.
