A good heart person, generous and thoughtful. Loved by many , he loved us all . We will always remember you Charlie, you were one of a kind! True family man!

I am so sorry to hear of you loss. Charlie was very good to my Auntie Ann Nolan Anselmi before she moved to Boston. Many stories of the Deli, Charlie, & Kris Ann would share with me. Ann passed away a year ago, but I know she would feel the same. I know that the three of them are together looking down on all of us. May god bless you and your family, Elaine Floman (Ann's niece)

Charlie delivered bread to this deli when he eas8 years old.

Charlie was the best. I remember him telling me that he delivered bread to the deli when he was 8 years old. A life well spent! RIP Sandwich King. "Only the good die Young"

I've known Charlie since I was a kid, and now I have a kid of my own. It's difficult to think of someone who's been part of your life almost weekly. Everyone who I have ever brought to Charlie's always left loving him and his approach to life. Nothing was too serious, except for how we treat each other. Everyone who went into the shop was treated with respect and generousity by Charlie. I remember one day I didn't have enough money and I told him I would come back in a few minutes with what I owed. Charlie gave me the money back and told me to bring it back next time. I asked him why, and he said he didn't want me to not have any money in my pocket. He was a true gentleman in every sense. Will be surely missed.

We are sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

RIP Sandwich King. You will be missed, never forgotten.

Charlie had the best stories while you waited for your sandwich. I always left the deli in a better mood and a laugh. I will miss him greatly and his stories.

I have known Charlie since the 70's while he was courting his wife Kris. It was no surprise that he was a great son, husband, father and friend to many! He worked hard and ate well! You will be missed "pal". RIP, My deepest condolences to Kris, Evelyn and the family - Keith K

Charlie was a staple of the community from when I was a child being raised in Astoria. I will always remember boarding any flight with his giant sandwiches. May he rest in peace and condolences to the whole family.

I have been coming to your store forever. you always had a smile that made other people smile. My Condolences To The Family.

I will miss our chats that we would have when I got my sandwich on my way home at night my condolences to the family he was so proud as a dad but as a granddad he was the proudest

Extending deep and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family,So very sorry.

Our deepest and sincere condolences to Chris and family. We will always remember Charlie as a very caring,humble and kind person. We know he cared and loved his family very much, especially his "MOM" Evelyn. Cherish each and every memory you created with him. May God's love and grace give you and your family comfort during this difficult time.

Such an amazing person, always with a smile, and always joking around..... The sandwich shop will not be the same without him, he will be dearly missed. My deepest condolences to his family, and may God rest his soul!!!! Have a safe trip my friend, we all loved you and we will always and we will always have you in our hearts!!!!!

Best damn store in Astoria. I remember Charlie, what a great guy. We're going to miss him. =(

My sincerest condolences to Chris and family. Met Chris and Charlie when I was 17, he was 21. He would come into the deli next door from the bakery with a 2 foot freshly baked Italian bread and would say "fill it up pal". I added all his favorite cold cuts inside. Years later he would return the favor by making everyone his own famous sandwich "The bomb". I will always remember him.

Our sincere condolences and prayers for the family. Simona and Luigi

My condolences to the family
