Charlie was more than a towering figure in American politics — he was a man of principle, heart, and unwavering dedication to the people he served. Over the decades of our friendship, I came to know Charlie not only as a leader but as a loyal friend, a source of wisdom, and a man whose laughter could brighten any room. His compassion, courage, and commitment to justice left an indelible mark on this nation and on all of us who were fortunate enough to know him personally. I will miss him terribly. In 2016, I had the privilege of sitting down with Charlie for a conversation that captured the spirit of his remarkable life and career. It remains one of my most cherished memories. I encourage you all to take a moment to watch this video and reflect on the legacy of a truly extraordinary man. Rest in peace, my friend. You will never be forgotten.
