We are truly sadden by the loss of Charles (Tuna) But we know that he is now in a much better place with no more pain, no more worries and no more loneliness. We loved him while we could enjoy his smile and as everyone who knew him, his outrages and sometimes dramatic sense of humor. and you could only imagine him as a best man in a wedding OH What A Day! But we would not have had it any other way, so family don't cry or think he is gone, he is just preparing a place where we will all meet again and ya know he is tellin all the angels jokes about all of us God Bless the family and remember the Cornells will always be there for ya!

No words can express the sorrow I feel at this time. To the family you have my deepest sympathy for I know the loss you feel. Charles was truly one of a kind, with a sense of humor that surely will be missed. May you remember all the good that was Charles- the laugh, the jokes, and the love he had for those he loved. Charles will always have a special place in my heart and a piece of my heart goes with him.
