The Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home and Crematory, North 11th and St. Clair streets, Manitowoc is assisting the family with funeral arrangements.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate memorials in Skip's name.

Dad, Skip or Charlie was known by many as a devoted husband, father and grandpa. But above all he was one of the nicest men to walk the face of the earth. Charlie saw everyone as a friend and would always have a smile and a wave for you. He will be fondly remembered by everyone that knew him as just an overall nice person. Love, your Proud Family!
