Thanks Metal for this and thanks to all who have responded. If ya ever played against Charley you will remember him. Probably the toughest defender in the game. For those that don't know about a yr ago Charlie was #1 in the world for pts earned for a week. He and I played together along with our friends every night almost for about 2 yrs or more. Many came to know us as a crazy couple guys who were liable to say anything at anytime but we always had a good time and lots of ppl enjoyed our crazy battles. Charlie lived in Oregon right in the middle of the old time cattle trails we all have heard so much about in the movies. He was a rancher who raised cattle and in his younger days he did rodeo ridin bulls and busting broncs a fact he was very proud of. He was a man of morels and pride if ya got on his wrong side you can bet he would let ya know it real quick.. He and I became friends first time we met on the game and I'm proud to say he became one of the best friends I ever had. Bout a yr ago he started havin trouble remembering things. We talked bout it he told me he thought maybe he had takin one to many kicks to the haed in his rodeo days. Never did we think it was something worse. he went to the doctor in October they did test and he already had stage 4 brain cancer nothing could be done. 2 months later he was gone..His closest companion in life was his dog it passed away bout a yr before and he was never the same Charlie afterwards. I hadn't been in contact with him a lot for the last few months because he was fully dedicated to bettering himself in his religion and it meant a lot to him and I didn't want to be a bad influence on him. Cause anyone who knew him and I together knew how it was lol .....some wild times ...... I will miss those times forever and the game will never be the same for me I have truly lost a friend. Sorry for this being long but I'm lost right now and I miss him so bad. just wanted al to know who he was... But most of all he was my FRIEND ....Ilove ya Bro.
