Dian, Charle's wife, informed me a few minutes ago. I know
I am going to miss him. I received an email from him on the
12th of February (Thursday) in response to my asking him to
join facebook.com. He replied after 8pm, not sure if that
was California time or my time, as he lived in California
and I live in Florida.
His wife indicated he died on Monday, and I believe she
meant February 16, 2009. I really do not know how to handle
this. But I think everyone here should know, and his last
message in request to joining facebook.com...

As it happens, my wife, Dian, has accepted one of her invitations,
so I will let her test it.

This is sad news. I am sorry to hear it. I had sent and
received many emails with him. I have a somewhat large
collection of older computer books, one of them being:
"The Serious Assembler", by Charles A. Crayne and Dian Girard.
I asked if I sent it to him, if he would autograph it.
At the time I did not know that Dian was his wife. Both of
them autographed it and sent it back.
He will be missed for sure.
With respects to his wife and family,
Ben

Amen.
Thanks, Jim.
Sadly,
Frank
Amen.
Bummer, that's terribly bad news.. I didn't know Chuck personally but
I always thought of him as benevolent 'Uncle Chuck', providing adult
supervision, and much, much, more on CLAX, and elsewhere...
Please pass along our Condolences..
Steve
My heart goes out to his family.
Nathan.
He will be sorely missed. One of the few who could keep
their heads while the monkeys were running riot, and a
head packed with useful knowledge and experience at that.

I tried the Vista speech recognition by running the tutorial. I was
amazed, it was awesome, recognised every word I said. Then I said the
wrong word ... and it typed the right one. It was actually just
detecting a sound and printing the expected word! -- pbhj on /.
Sigh... Goodbye friendly acquaintance.

Yes, she meant the 16th:

[real bad news]
hard to believe for me ...
I feel with Chuck's family and also see big gaps, not only in
the ASM-community, left after he isn't here anymore.

I do hope that CLAX can be continued.

and I'll remember and miss a skilled advisor for my remaining time.

What awful news! Charles has been one of the most active contributors
to NASM; in fact, I suspect without Charles there wouldn't have been a
NASM community today.
My thoughts to his wife and family. Charles, you will be missed. :(
