Everyone,

It is with an extremely heavy heart that I let you know that Charlie has lost his battle with leukemia. Charlie's mom, Joanne, contacted me this morning to let me know that Charlie passed last night. She was by his side as were many of his friends.

She was so thankful that Charlie made the trip to Timmins last January to meet Shania, and that he had so many friends from around the world that he met during the many conventions he attended.

I truly wish I was not sharing this information right now, right here, but I don't know any other way to let you know. Joanne asked that I inform all of his Shania friends.

I will cherish my time with Charlie and the many laughs we have shared....this world has lost an amazing individual.....rest now my friend..

Tracy
