When our family was overseas, Charlie (Mr Deupree!) sent us a video tape he had taken of all of our friends and family saying hi to us during the Jinx. It was one of the loveliest things we were sent, and I still treasure it, and his memory, for that one gesture alone.
My sincere condolences for Charlie’s family. This is a hard one for me. Charlie and I were still a little “wet behind the ears” in the School Psycholoy business when we met as Board members for the MI Assoc of School Psychologists (MASP) in the late 70’s. We hit it off immediately and I, like everyone that met him, liked him immensely. In a meeting break conversation he asked if I thought he should run for MASP President. Having viewed his leadership first hand I totally endorsed that idea and shared with him my plans to go back to school. A big turning point in our lives and it would pull apart a valued friendship. I was sorry our paths rarely crossed in the following years. We met again years later at the White Lake Yacht Club and I always looked forward to seeing him there. Lotsa laughs and great memories. He did great things for School Psychology throughout Michigan and the nation. A truly great man and a life well lived.

My prayers go out for Charlie’s family and friends. May they be comforted by their memories. Charlie was so patient many years ago when I was at the cottage with my 3 daughters. My husband, Guy, was back home working in Arizona. Charlie took me out in our boat and gave me driving lessons so I could take the boat out with the girls.
He was so patient and encouraging. Charlie put out goodness in our world. Hugs from the Guy and Jennifer Jackman family.
A fine person and strong NASP and Michigan leaser for school psychology. Big smile, big heart!
My sincere condolences to Sal and family. As a neighbor and friend, it was easy to know Charlie because he had a wonderful ability to make people feel welcome and included. He was a fun and funny guy, great euchre partner, and an all-around admirable person.
