It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the loss of Charles Wallace Birlem, who passed away quite suddenly and far too soon on Thursday, March 9. Services will be held on Saturday, April 1 at 9:30 a.m. at Hall’s of Boothbay. A reception will follow after the service. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you take your grandchildren out for ice cream or buy a bottle of wine to share with your spouse and remember him with the love that we all feel.
