I'm sorry to report that Charley Love passed away last night from complications associated with a major surgical procedure.
All my memories of Charley make me smile. It says a lot about about someone when, 40 years later, he still makes us feel glad to have known him and flown with him.
Charley's wife Jeannie survives him in Georgia. More information as it comes to us.
Semper Fi Charley, keep your turns up.

Charely Love memories
Just memories
We used to stand by at LZ Baldy for emergencies, like Medevacs and Mission 80 guns. When things were slack, we'd try to grab some rest. This is Charley, afetr I woke him to take his picture.

This is Charley after he got fully awake.

Charley and I lost all our hydraulic fluid through a bullet hole in the turret one day. It was all we could do to wrestle the Cobra around for a straight in to Marble. Our pattern was so wide, F4s at Danang were landing inside our pattern.
Semper Fi All,
