What can you say when you lose a Great Man. Charlie will always be at the top of the list for bringing a little "class" to our sport.
He will be sorely missed by all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Gastineau Family.

Funny story about Charlie,
I was at Racers Corner (D.E. Suggs) shop, lettering the #2 car driven by Steve Gasitneau. It was late in the evening to early morning hours on a cold Winter day. The Snow was piled up outside and D.E. had that damn thermostat on the heater set on 118 degrees. My paint was drying on the end of my brush before it ever hit the car.
I took it upon myself to put Gold Leaf numbers on Steve's car, and if you have never seen Gold Leaf applied it can be quite shocking during the application process. Anyway at about 12:30 or 1:00 am Steve and Charlie came walking through the door at Racers Corner and the first thing out of Steve's mouth was, "what do we got going on here", and Charlie's jaw just dropped. Then Charlie asked D.E. how are we gunna fix this...
D.E. in his usual calm manner slowly stood up from his chair that was parked in front of the 118 degree heater and said, Allen pick up your stuff and I will hold them off (Charlie and Steve) until you get out of here.
At first Charlie thought D.E. was serious and I acted along with D.E. and I asked Charlie if he would not mind braving the weather to go out and start my truck so it could warm up, while I acted like I was picking my lettering stuff up. Charlie said "hey, if that's what needs to be done let's do it "
God Speed Charlie

So sorry to hear about Charlie, RIP. I agree they are a great family and a credit to the sport. It was great to give them some press during my columnist days. Our prayers are with Steve Whit and the entire Gastineau family.
