Hi, thanks for adding Charles…although I didn’t know him, he was a classmate of mine (Class of 1981). The correct birth year is 1963—I’ve included a link to his obituary in a local paper (he was 31 at the time of his death). https://www.newspapers.com/clip/19092197/charles-j-jewell-death-notice/
Thanks for all this work you do!
