1. I have only just come across Charlie's funeral notice. I have many fond memories of working with Charlie, as an apprentice gardener at Pleasant Creek, more years ago than I care to think about. Charlie taught me so much about gardening, people and the world as a whole. The world is definitely a poorer place without you in it Charlie.

6. Condolences from the Howlett family Annette, Dominique, Letitia and Zane.
   Many great memories. Like the time it was discovered your house wasn't straight. After my dad had used it to align the newly built shed. Should've used the spirit level at the start, not the end. Lol
   I'll always remember Charlie's smile.
   Lots of love
