I was aware he passed but this page is a nice sendoff in his memory. He walked by dog Zack who Sweet Pea didn't like but Charlie was always a good steward of. He was always was bigger-than-life, physically as well as his character.

Running into him was always the height of my day. I don't know if it was the beating he took to his head from a homeless guy, depressoin, or something else but he was a great friend.

He was an original, the king of the East Village, and one of the best storytellers in the world. When kids would ask why Swee' Pea's tongue was hanging out, he would tell them, "She lost her teeth because she didn't floss, so make sure you do." Heartbreaking to know that Charlie is gone, but he will always be so missed and loved. R.I.P.

Charlie was my friend. We both came from Brooklyn and made the East Village our home. Charlie was a presence here in EV, 5th st in particular. Charlie was a people person [canines too ]and created a hub, he brought people together. Knowing he was close bye made me feel safe and I'm sure others felt the same. Charlie was an intelligent witty man with a great sense of humor. No one could make me laugh so hard. Charlie was indeed a one of a kind who touched so many. I loved my friend Charlie. His passing is heartbreaking, but the laughs and all we've shared will endure. My life has been enriched for knowing him. It has been a privilege. til we meet again. See you & sweet pea on the other side.

He was a great guy and my dog's weekend at his apartment was so much fun for him. I wish he knew how much everyone cared about him and that we could have helped him get through the darkness. This news hit hard and the East Village is a less vibrant place without him. I hope Sweet Pea and he are reunited in eternal love.EVGrrrlnoreply@blogger.com
