To the Auxier family. I am so sorry for your loss. Charlie was always a good neighbor to me when I lived on Washington and as well as living on Lincoln. He would stop and say hello when he’d see me outside or any where for that matter. He will be deeply missed. RIP Charlie

I grew up in the Auxier house. My parents were good friends with Charlie & Mabel, so we would go over on weekends and watch movies, the parents would teach us how to play cards or other games, danced around with the music blaring. Great memories with the Auxier family.
Sending our deepest condolences to the family.
With love-
