Comment:	Thanks so much indeed, Tony, for remembering Charles! He was one of my best friends and had a huge impact on my life in my early days of pastoral ministry in rural NW Kansas. He performed at the grand opening of "The Melting Pot," our coffee-house ministry in Colby, where he and Judy even helped us with the decor. He performed there many times during its 5-year run and later joined me in York, PA, during the very early days of our pastoral ministry there--performing and ministering in worship services, special meetings, and in "The Melting Pot," our coffee house in York (which ran for 12 years). Through him, I'd met Scott Hinkle in Kansas, and Scott served as my assistant pastor for several months at Yorktowne Chapel. Charles and Judy, genuninely "cool," were always on the cutting edge of contemporary ministry but never wavered from their rock-solid commitment to the word of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ. They influenced everything from my hair-style in the early 1970's to the manner in which we conducted our coffee house and television ministries! I'll never forget Charles, and I just saw Judy for the first time in decades at a convention last year in Denver, CO. She, of course, is still going full-steam-ahead in the ministry she and Charles founded in Hollywood, for years now at the side of her second husband Ron Radachy (whom I finally got to meet last year in Denver). What a reunion we'll all have in heaven!
