My sincere condolences to Lorraine and the whole MacAuley family. Charlie was one of my bosses at the plant, and I loved the guy! Hard not too! When he made me an accomplice to his practical jokes on Bill or Cliff, or switching 3/6/9's crappy Maxwell House coffee for the better Nabob when 1/4/7 left their coffee drawer unlocked - who couldn't love and admire the guy?! Lol! As a new officer, I found myself in a little hot water from time to time. More often than he probably wanted to, Charlie would have take a little wind out of my sails , then he'd say something funny, and I'd leave the squad office smiling! Bill and Cliff would be some pissed that I wasn't leaving looking at my boots!! Brian, I always believed you had to have been so proud to work along side your dad. You guys were definitely 2 of a kind! Even after Charlie retired, I'd run into him on "coffee row" - he always had time for a good story and something funny to say! I think about Charlie often, and have nothing but chuckles and great memories! Rest easy Charlie
