There’s something about someone who is always smiling that makes you smile too. That was Charlie’s gift to others. He was so much fun to be around with his wit and sense of humor and was always good for a great conversation. We had many fun times that will live on in fond memory. My sincere condolences for all those who loved him. May you be blessed with remembering the good times with him. -Laurel Winn
Charlie the Greek 💕
You were one of a kind…gentleman, comedian, dressed to kill, hansome and so sexy lol. I will miss our karaoke duets of Love on the Rocks, but will be a forever memory for me.
RIP Charlie….love, Diana
Love & miss you my cousin ❤️
RIp. You wee my #1
Charlie, you made me laugh constantly. You’d sing to me my favorite song. “Wildfire “. I’ll never forget your smile and how you made me feel so good about myself, when I couldn’t feel it. RIP my buddy. 😢😢😢
I met Uncle Charlie 5 years ago and he introduced himself as the “Last of the Greek Gods!” After seeing him fight the way he did over the past few years, I now believe him!

Many many fun times with Charlie. He would tell me I was one of his top three people he liked to drink with. He always made me laugh. He had so many friends. If you were lucky enough to be one of them he would give you a special nickname that he would greet you with when he saw you or he’d have a song to sing to you. He was an extremely spiritual person so I know he is up singing with the Angel’s. Love and miss you forever Charlie

I miss you so much Charles, no more time spent together in Maine, your favorite place on earth. You taught me to be happy, and a little more outgoing, which was hard for me as you know. Thanks for that my friend. Most friends fight or argue once in awhile. We never did. So many memories, here are a few. Going to the Patriots games and the VIP tent party with Steven and Craig, and Craig stealing someone’s jacket so you would be warm. The Ray McVeigh song and all the memories and truths in the song, with every line and word reflective of actual events. The list of top ten Maine events, including: Steven “watching” my neighbor Ron hit every tree in his yard in a drunken stuper. My boat ending up in a tree. Jed getting jerked off by Ron. Keep your fingers out of my girl, Jonny (the rear end specialist). John playing quarters in the camper. Painting my house blue, and then tearing it down. Auntie Stella in the Baja. “Get the rope” during the storm of the century. What started it all, the potato gun.
Keep my seat warm buddy, I’ll see you soon.
I can’t say enough about my many laughs and fun times with Charlie over the years. He had a nickname for everyone, and every time I answered the phone I would hear “hi kookla, are you gonna pick some more kookliamoos for auntie Rosie today?” Because auntie Rosie loved the dahlias in the yard. He was always smiling, had a heart of gold, and a very infectious personality. Never a down day with him. I will miss him terribly. He loved his family to pieces, each and every one of you. RIP Costa, keep singing and smiling to the Fisherman’s blues. Sending my love and condolences to the entire family.

Dear Charlie
We will miss you and your laughter. Henry enjoyed talking about East Boston with you and all the laughter.
Thank you for honoring me by wearing the pink Breast Cancer bracelet. You proudly added it to your collection and like the other bracelets you vowed never to take it off. And through this we did not know you were suffering again. We’ll never forget that head of hair of yours and your tan leather jacket. You were quite a Special Man.
No more suffering but you left us too soon.
Rest Peacefully Now. We will think of you always.
Deepest Sympathy to Your Family.
Sandy & Henry St. Croix
Sending prayers to your family.
Keep singing in heaven ❤️
My deepest sympathies. xo Frances McInnis ~ Milton
