Having on recently been introduced to the family Charlie was the one who made it make sense, guiding me though the madness of the Franklins & Belchers one bottle of Stella at a time. Forever shall he be in my thoughts; he was a hell of a man, father, family man and friend by all accounts. All we can do now is to try and step up to fill the void as best we can to Oliver and phoebe and of course Hannah who I feel for the most. An impossible task as he was thrice the man of anyone i met before: Vivacious, funny, sarcastic, ambitious, driven, caring, thoughtful, cheeky, loving... in such a short time you have had a profound effect on me and I will miss you dearly. Every family event will not be the same again but you will be there in our hearts and thoughts at them all. Charlie F-B you are missed. This tragedy has hit all who knew you hard. My thoughts, prayers and love to H, O & P. James x
