He spoke on behalf of organ donation and mentored many recipients on their transplant journey.

On his desk, he kept Hamilton Jordan's book, There is No Such Thing as a Bad Day. No matter what the circumstances, a common refrain would be "How are you doing, Charlie?" "I'm great, just great." Charlie's spirit will live on as a positive, upbeat, caring, gentle, and generous man. His love and generosity changed the lives and outlooks of countless people from all faiths and walks of life.
