    Tuesday 11/5 marks 4 years since this kind, humble star passed away. This was Charlie’s last HR. My favorite part is the big smile he gave his proud old man at the end. Priceless. I love you forever Charlie boy. Im so blessed to be your dad🙏💚

    Here we go again…. Another year has passed since Charlie boy left this earth. I ask for his help constantly in hopes to redeem my failures and be a better man. I miss him desperately. Thanks once again to all of Charlie’s Angels for propping me up daily. I’m forever grateful🙏🏻

    As a dad/catching coach I can’t ask for a better gift than seeing this kid show incredible toughness and will, leading his young pitchers today. Maybe the best game I’ve ever seen him catch. Everyone in that park saw u lay it all out on every pitch. We see you!

    Charlie D’s last hit. Not trying to do too much. Just a knock for a ribbie Like he did so many times. What a player(and a son🙏🏻)

    An ominous shadow for Binghamton extended onto the field moments Joe Donovan UNLOADED his first career homer. An absolute blast deep over the left field wall. #GoBlue

    One of my favorite things to watch Charlie do was run. Notice that moment before second base where he slows up a touch then turns on the jets. 🙏🏻😇#Flash0

    Every year that passes gets easier they say.Well, “they” don’t really understand.The 24/7 camino Karen calls it. I don’t recommend it.Despite the challenges, it is filled with moments of joy,love, laughter,gratitude,forgiveness,grace and all things good. I 💚,miss you Charlie🙏🏻
