Radar and I grew up as neighbors, I lived across the street from him. We spent a life time of growing up together. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to have as a friend. He knew everyone and everything, (just ask him ), he will always be remembered by me..so,, so long neighbor , till we meet again.

ReplyI spent my young years, during the summer, in the Charlwood family home. Ray Don was much younger than I. His mother Lily and my mother were sisters. The Charlwood sisters Lily, Alma and Dorothy worked together during WW2 planting a garden and canning their harvests. Ray was in a carriage when we went berry picking. As he grew up to be a toddler, he had a very pleasant personality. Over the years we lost contact with one another. My sincere condolences go out to his love ones. May God”s love and peace be with you.

ReplyI was sad to see the funeral notice of Ray Don as we called him. Ray’s mother and my father, Philip Charlwood, were sister and brother. Ray also has four other living cousins and one aunt by marriage.
We all lost track of Ray when he moved from Marissa and the family home to St. Louis. We would like to know about these years in Ray’s life.
Please accept my sympathy on Ray’s death.
