Charles Paul Rothenberg

November 27th, 2013

When i started in business Charlie was like a mentor to me. As the years went by he became someone who I could trust like a father. He had many laughs together. Often after a tough day I would go over to his office and find that he already opened the “globe”. That was his hidden bar. Of course he only stocked it with Crown Royal, so we drank Crown. Still do thanks to Chuck. We were partners in the building until he asked that I buy him out after he sold Merit Printing. If there is family reading this, i came across an old Merit sign that is not too big. You may already have plenty of memorabilia, but if not, i would be happy to give it to you.

I will miss you my friend.
