Jim Morrison Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Hey, It's been awhile. I don't know how many brothers and sisters here might've met Charlie, but I'm sorry to say he died yesterday at noon after a long illness. I posted something about it here, if you're interested: https://www.facebook.com/jim.morrison.127/posts/pfbid02t9jFQKDWLrg99QNZCohDJgXFkyUfMyNcFRfFiDaxrYP8vaksoL158jdPCQEa1TiLl Hope you're all well, Jimmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Heard about him many times. Sorry to have never met. Didn't know he was in VA - we had a place not far from Waynesboro. You wrote a wonderful tribute. Sorry you lost such a great partner and friend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 I met Charlie at Jim's wedding. I don't remember anything specific except his smile and that he was fun, funny, and gracious. What a nice tribute to a good friend. Proof of a life well-lived. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 nice tribute. Indagators brought back some memories. a loss for sure. Made me go back to some of the stuff you wrote back then.

Jim Morrison Posted November 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 I searched Charlie's name on this site for a few lines to send his widow, his sister and his daughter, who understandably didn't know much about his professional life. The finest comment on it came from SonOfSwamp, better known to TIJ silverbacks as the late Walter Jowers. He wrote, "I know Charlie Wood. If Charlie tells you a pissant can pull a plow, hitch up that pissant." Thanks, guys. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Katen Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Thanks for posting this, Jim. I'm very sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. He died much too young. I recall a lively evening with the two of you in Puerto Vallarta. Charlie was in fine form and among the many stories he told was one of my favorites about "preservativos." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Morrison Posted November 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 I remember that evening as well, Jim, and that story is one of my most very favorites. It was also the only time you and I ever met in real life, I believe. Weren't we at the marina? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 I think we started out at the marina and ended up at a bar somewhere. Surely we met at one or more InspectionWorlds? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Morrison Posted December 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 We might've dined at the same table a time or two, but those were big tables filled with big personalities and I mostly concentrated on listening. Vallarta was the first time I remember meeting and speaking with the author of one of my favorite columns: "Ask Auntie Jim." Glad to see so many of you OGs are still at it, Jimmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
