Dearest Anne and family, such a shock when I heard about the passing of Charlie, so soon after Simon!
Charlie was just another member of the migrant family, that contributed so much to this country, he has left a beautiful family that I’m certain will continue to contribute to society in the most inclusive way as he did.
I know his memory will live on through his family, with photos throughout the house and many stories that he would have shared.
From reading other comments he was a much loved member of the Cohuna community where he spent most of his life, this is no surprise.
Mum and dad always spoke of Charlie and Anne as a wonderful couple with such beautiful children, I’m certain he would be proud of the legacy that he has left.
Take care Raffin family

Deepest sympathy to Anne and family. What a lovely man Charlie was. A great builder/carpenter who fixed our house at one stage in Cohuna. And knowing him through the soccer club. Thinking of you all at this hard time of goodbye, rest peacefully dear Charlie, with Simon again. Les and Lynne Crichton
Dear Anne, Luke, Fiona, Sarah and extended families here and overseas
We are so sorry to hear of Charlie’s passing.
As grandchildren of Italian migrants to Australia, we know that what Charlie did was something extraordinary, leaving behind family and a life in the old country to come out to Australia for an opportunity for a better life. His life spanned two continents, two languages, four amazing kids (vale Simon) and a rich and meaningful life contributing to his new, adopted homeland. He made such a hard decision to leave, but he built something incredible here from nothing and knowing no-one. His life should be celebrated.
Esprimiamo con grande dolore il nostro cordoglio.
With much love to all of you,
Julian Hammond and Diana Hogan (and their extended families)
Dear Anne Sarah Fiona and Luke and extended families
