I was one of Charles' guitar students for a few years when I was in my teens back in the mid to late 90's. Charles would always tell me to go check out a guitarist or suggest albums I should listen to. My fondest memory was he told me I should go see Pat Metheny Band. Today, Pat Metheny is one of my favorite musical artists. I still have all the sheet music he made me practice like Giant Steps and Watermelon Man. I credit Charles for getting me into Jazz and opening up a whole world of incredible music. So thanks again, Charles. You had a really huge impact on my life just from that.

Charles was my guitar teacher 25 years ago (age 15). I was not a Pat Metheney fan but knew his manager. I was able to get Charles backstage passes to meet Pat after a show in Sunrise. Will always remember that. Charles was a great teacher.

Dear Carey Family,

You have my deepest condolences for your loss. Charles often came into the library and most times we would end up speaking, that was how I went from colleague to discovering that we both loved and appreciated his craft. While I never made it out to see him, I have listened to him more than a few times on YouTube and have a great respect for his talent and his ability to reach out through the guitar. It was amazing to me that he had such humility. He will be missed.

I met Charlie at the basketball courts at Patch Reef park. Sometimes we played on the same team; sometimes we battled in the paint as we often paired when on opposing teams. He probably looked forward to those weekend mornings and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons as much as I did. He was a tough competitor but ALWAYS played hard but fair; never spoke a bad word about anybody. All the guys at the park are so upset; shocked is more like it. I didn't know anything about his love for music but I guess I'll learn more at his Celebration of Life. Rob

Charles was a music teacher, mentor, and friend to me. He taught me everything I know and is a driving force behind what started my career as a music teacher. I’ll never forget singing South Park songs with him and I hope he’s somewhere where all the Star Wars movies are good.

I miss you Charles,

Sawyer

My daughter Grace has been meeting Charles for an hour every Saturday morning for her electric guitar lesson for about 4 years. She learned today that Charles passed away and is devastated. She remembers Charles as a mentor and a friend. She talked about his love of jazz, that he made her laugh, that he was a Star Wars fanatic, and that he loved his cat Rufus. Charles made a forever impression on my daughter and our family. We miss him very much

God bless; I was a student of his at Village and he taught me so well, training me to take a new look at the art of music, and incredibly sharp, witty and kind with his words.

I can’t imagine how it can be.
