I was shocked and saddened to hear of Charley’s passing. He was way too young and had so much to offer this world. I worked with him at the USPS and he was always so kind, helpful and more than happy to help whenever and wherever he could. The world has lost a great person and he will be sadly missed. My sympathy and prayers for his wife and family.
DeeDee and family, So sorry for your loss. I got to know him best when working with him during the remodel of the Red Lake PO. I always appreciated his sense of humor and his patience with my mistakes. I have the highest respect for him. Countless folks have said how they also appreciated him at the DMV. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.
De De, mine and Rachels thoughts are with you. Charlie was a good man, and a good friend.
Dee Dee and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Charlie’s passing. He was a great guy and have known him back to days growing up in Hampden and Alsen. Cancer is a horrible disease that affects too many people and takes those we love way too early in life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dee Dee and family – our sympathies on the passing of Charlie- may all your wonderful memories of your years together comfort you.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Charlie.

Sincere sympathy to the family of Charlie Mann – as a fellow postmaster from Northern Minnesota I could always count on Charlie to answer any question – he was very knowledgeable and patient. He was missed when he retired. I know he was excited about being able to spend more time on the lake. May all the memories of Charlie give you comfort during this most difficult time.
