Probably one of the nicest and most decent people I've ever met on the left.
Met him first when involved taking convoys to mining communities in Tuzla, Bosnia, With Workers' Aid in early 1990's
Always full of good stories and anecdotes.
Great bloke cannot believe he passed away.
R.I.P.

my family were friends with members of the JSG when I was growing up. They were lovely people, I'm sure the same is true of Charlie

Knew him a bit in later years. The only person I've met who came through the WRP + remained politically sane

Rabbi Naomi Goldman will be conducting the funeral service. She was active in the JSG in the 1980/90s.
