Dear Christley Family, On behalf of my parents, Manuel & Cristela Alfaro, I would like to offer your their heartfelt condolences on the loss of your husband and father. My father and Mr Christley formed a close and personal friendship years ago when they both worked for Burrough’s. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Joan, You and Mr. Christley were always so nice to my sister and I! Your house was always our favorite stop on Halloween, even after we were old enough to drive! (Even after we started college actually :) Mr. Christley was definitely a wonderful man and a great person to chat with. If you need anything or want to talk, just let me know. My sis and I are just down the street. -Val! Jupe
We are so sorry to hear of the lose of Charlie. I knew him from our working relationship at Burroughs. He was a kind and wonderful man, and I know he will be missed terribly. I pray that God wraps His loving arms around you and comforts you at this time. It was a blessing to me to have known Charlie. God bless you and yours……Ken and Nancy Stewart
