Mr. Boland was a fine and generous gentleman. My husband thoroughly enjoyed working, listening to his many stories, and sharing the fellowship of Jesus with him. He is in heaven where we will, one day, enjoy being together once again.

We are so happy that we had the opportunity to visit with Charlie and Joy last fall. Charlie was my eldest cousin, and such a wonderful role model. We so enjoyed that visit, and seeing the sights around Colorado Springs, with Charlie still in good health and high spirits. It was clear that Joy and Charlie lived their life together through the Lord Jesus Christ, and I know he is happy with him now. Our prayers are with you, Joy, and your daughters and their families, Sue & Beau

I'm very saddened to hear of Charlie's passing. He was good guy to work with. As one of the Shift Supervisor at Drake power plant, Charlie was a stand out in his job as Maintenance Supervisor. I haven't stayed in touch with to many of the guys over the years, My deepest sympathy and sorrow to his Family,I know he will be missed and never forgotten. God Bless you Charlie and you Family.

Charlie was the "answer man" at Drake. Anything, absolutely anything you needed to know, you went to Charlie and he would probably point to a book and say "you'll find it in there". He figured you would be better off for the organization, if you looked it up yourself, than if he told you the answer. He was so right. I had the highest respect for him and am so sorry to hear about his passing. May he rest in peace with the Lord.

Family and friends of Charles, my deepest condolence go out to you. Charles life sounds full of loyalty and kindness. To be involved in so many charitable organizations shows love for other in the best way. Jehovah God loves a cheerful giver and it looks like Charles and his family did just that ( Psm 83 :18, 2 Cor 9:7 ). It is so nice to see that kind of love in this harsh world today. May Jehovah God be with you all on your time of distress (Pms 46:1). My prayer go out for you also. Sincerely Coleen
