"passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, in his sleep after his courageous battle with cancer."
"Mr. Charlie answered the phone that night, and I just sat there and cried to him,"
"I sat there and cried on the phone for probably an hour talking to him and his wife. They had compassion for me. He understood. He didn't get on to me. I just told him what the problem was, and he told me what he thought the solution was."
"It's all about America. I'm proud to be here. We love America, man."
