Very sad. For the two years I lived in Philadelphia, I would go to Charlie's shop every week on the evenings he was open, and usually on Saturday too. I learned a lot from him, and bought a lot from him. He also bought things fro me from time to time. He was a great guy, and very free with his knowledge. I've missed him and his shop. Rest in peace, Charlie.
