We've known Charlie since he joined Saddleworth Male Voice Choir. He was a stalwart of our bass section, served as Chair, and also as treasurer for many years. He was one of the most musically talented members the choir have had, a natural guitar / banjo / ukulele player and very entertaining in the George Formby style. Charlie was very warm and welcoming to new members, and always willing to share his wealth of musical experience when needed with advice and tips. He put so much into our Saddlers Folk Group and organised our Christmas get togethers ; at times like these his love for his family would shine through in the stories he told. It was a privilege to have known him and fond memories of him will remain with us. Jen and Peter Hatton.
