Our condolences to the family of Charlie Moffitt. My Mom, Dad and I would stop by” Studebakers” and have a nice meal(we loved the cold salads and sweet potato fries!) while we visited with Charlie. My dad had many health issues at the time and Charlie would always stop by our table to visit and see how he was doing.My Dad has since passed and every time that I would run into Charlie somewhere he would always ask about my Mom and me also. He and” Studebakers” have given our family many happy memories to cherish. He was a very kind and thoughtful man who will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. – Sue Scoville and mother Helen (my Dad was Frank)
