Mrs. Seney, Dave and Nate, I am truly sorry for your loss. Charlie was a great man and it pains me that I can not be there for all of you at this difficult time you are facing. The neighborhood will not be the same without him. He was quick to lend a helping hand and even quicker to make you laugh. He will be truly missed by all who had the honor of knowing him. Rest easy Charlie, you will not be forgotten.

Barbara, David, Nate & Marci and all of Charlie’s family – Our sincere and deepest condolences at the loss of one of the happiest and kindest guys around town! He always had a smile on his face and could definitely make anyone laugh! I have many fond memories of Charlie and cherish them all, especially the way he cared about our mom, checking in on her and chatting away the hours. He was like a son to her and a 4th brother to me. I know he is up in heaven laughing with all of our angels and smiling down on all of us. He will be missed dearly. Find peace in all the happy memories. Blessings of comfort at this difficult time to all of his family.

Just want to send my sincere condolences to Nate, Marci and all the family and friends of a man I never had the privilege to get to know. What I do know is he produced a wonderful son who is loyal, strong and dedicated. That is a testament to who Charlie Seney was, and I pray for comfort and peace to surround the family in their hour of need.
God’s Peace Be With You All
Love, Nonny

Aunt Barbara , David and Nathan.
I’m sorry for your loss. Uncle Charlie took care of me as child and taught me so much . He was a good man. He helped so many people including me. He was the best at what he did, but he never acted that way. He was always happy and made so many people laugh. He will be missed. I will always remember being his helper and handing him tools. It was the greatest life lesson I could have learn. You should be so proud to call him your husband and dad
Mike.

Dear Mrs. Senay,
I was so saddened to hear of Charlie’s passing. I came into work at UConn and saw his obituary. Charlie was quite a character and he brought many funny stories to the warehouse where I worked and first met him. I wanted you to know how much laughter he brought to my work area over the years. I can remember all of his quick witted and sassy remarks he had made over the years that I knew him. I am so sorry for you and your families loss. Hold onto your memories tightly. He will always be fondly remembered.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Henderson.
