<p>“Charlie loved life, he loved <em>his</em> life, he loved America, he loved nature … he loved the Chicago Cubs and, my goodness, did he love the Oregon Ducks,” she said. “But most of all, Charlie loved his children and he loved me, with all of his heart. And I knew that, he made sure I knew that.”</p>
<p>“He was such a good man,” Erika said through tears. “He was the perfect father, he was the perfect husband.”</p>
