    I enjoyed seeing Charlie Hill in his many comedy appearances on tv. Also, I remember him on I believe Arsenio Hall show. I think mostly,I will remember Charlie Hill and how funny he was and the great honor of sharing the stage with him at the first Schemitzen in Mashantucket, Ct. to be celebrated in 300+ yrs. Peace to his ashes, a sorrow for his going.
