Mr. Farrell was like a second father to me growing up. He treated me like gold every time I saw him. He danced the night away at my wedding and was the epitome of fun! He was kind, generous, and loving. I will miss him. May God rest his sweet soul.

I work at the nursing home where Charlie lived. Charlie was a wonderful man. Every day I would come in to start my shift he would always wave and give me a smile. He loved to sing and there were times he would encourage other residents to sing along. Rest in peace Charlie. My thoughts and prayers go out to Charlie’s family. I’m so sorry for your loss.

I work in activities at the nursing home Charlie resided at. It was a privilege and and a honor to know him. There was never a dull moment. He was energetic, extremely funny, a great singer ( he sang all the time), always trying to help, and always gave a compliment to somebody that would make their day. It’s not the same without him. He will be deeply missed. At least he is in a better place with Carol. My deepest condolences to Sally, Fred, Charlie Jr, Kelly, and the rest of the family. May Charlie’s memory be a blessing. May he rest in peace. Good bye Charlie. I’ll miss ya .
