Dear Marie, Both you and Charlie put up a great battle to overcome the illness, but Charlie is now out of pain and struggle. We have always been amazed at his approach to life and his very upbeat manner in facing his illnesses. You are a remarkable couple. God love you and now give you strength to move ahead. Our love, June and Jay

Charlie hired me as a faculty member at San Fernando Valley State College in 1971 and we both used to consult for KVB Engineering. He was my department chair and then my dean. He worked hard to improve the status of the engineering school at CSUN and should be remembered for all his accomplishments for our school and our campus.

Marie, Dolores and I offer our heart-
felt condolences on this sad occasion.
Charlie began my career at CSUN by hiring me as a lecturer in ECE and as
Associate Director of the MEP. In one
semester I became a tenure track member of the faculty and 2 years later acting Chair of ECE. A year after that, Charlie asked me to become the acting Associate Dean of the School. Upon his retirement from the University, I became the acting Dean and ultimately succeeded
him in the permanent position. I owe my career and success to Charlie’s encouragement and decisions. Thanks to both of you!
