"Charlie" Bowles, The Red Star
I worked for Charlie at the Red Star since 2007. Charlie was a very friendly and approachable man and became a close friend during the past seven and a half years. He will be missed by his close friends and acquaintances. I will very much miss his friendship, humor and easy going attitude. His favorite song was "No Regrets" by Miss Edith Piaf, which was the song I would always end my set at the end of the evening. Thank you for allowing me to share...Love you, Charlie!
