Did something happen to Charlie? (Hatch sailor)

[sunnydog]

I looked at the hatchcam today out of habit and there seemed to be a memorial for Charlie. Charlie is a friend our ours going way back. Can anyone help me out?

I am still in shock as i was told a couple days ago he was sick. i I knew him since the early '80

He was indeed very special and my condolences to Sally and entire family.
i am still numbed

this was in Temira's report today

Good morning,

First off this morning, some sad news. Charlie Laventure passed away after a long battle with leukemia. If you didn’t know Charlie, you missed out. He would have been your hero. Charlie played. He played a lot. He surfed and he rode his bike and his motorcycle, and… you get the picture. On top of that, he was bright and funny and kind, and from what I hear, an awesome dad. Whenever Charlie said “hi” to me, I was honored that he was my friend.

I found Temira's report about Charlie Laventure after I posted but the picture on the hatchcam is Charlie Jones (too close).
