    To all the Glass family, my condolences on the passing of Charlie, a much respected member of the community and a father head to a lot of people, have some fond memories of Charlie calling at Renton Hardware picking something up, either with the trailer or his trusty old Leyland truck, we had some interesting discussions about life and life in general, haven’t seen him much in recent years but have some fond memories.
    RIP peace Charlie, you deserve it.

    West Coast trips will never quite be the same without Uncle Charlie’s huge presence. A big hole has been left but his legend lives on.

    Somehow you could always make us laugh and smile, Charlie.

    All our love to Charlie’s whānau and friends from Michael, Lisa, Baxter and Olive.
