We so extremely sorry to lose Charlie. We had such a connection and will miss his wonderful sense of humor. Glad him and Lee got to see Italy.

- Lee and Rachel Toraya, Savannah, GA

Much sympathy to the family. We will all miss our friend at Hospice Savannah.

- Charlene DeNoon Altman, Savannah, GA

I worked with Charlie at Hospice Savannah and chatted with him recently at Publix. He helped me by “starring” in a hospice marketing movie, by training other volunteers, and by so willingly staffing our Covid 19 vaccination clinics. He was the most caring, intelligent, and funny man. My sincere condolences to his family and especially to his husband- he loved you completely.

- Beth Logan, Savannah, GA

Oh Charley we will so miss your joy and wonderful love of life. What a gift you were.

- Frances W Smith, Savannah, GA

Love you always Uncle Charlie. Sending our prayers and love Uncle Lee

I am saddened to hear of Charlie’s passing. We had a Louisiana connection but more than that he was such a joyous, loving , generous person. I can hear his voice as I write this. He will be missed. Condolences to Lee and his family.

My heart is breaking for you Lee! Charlie was such a wonderful and special person! Working with him all those years in the Antitrust Division and meeting you, Lee, was such a blessing. I can’t begin to imagine the pain you’re feeling, but I’m here for you no matter what! Sending my heartfelt condolences and love!

Words are not adequate for what I am feeling. I have so many fond memories of Charlie, as recent as March 1, 2024. I worked in the DOJ Washington Antitrust Division Office, and our friendship began instantly. He embraced my family and introduced me to Lee and his family/friends. He had a presence that didn't always require words and filled the room. He had a sense of humor that kept you laughing. When I visited him in CA, I met his cocker spaniel Bogart whom I feel in love with so much that I also adopted one from OR.! We laughed and cried together. I also visited him in Savannah and true to his style, he showed me the town and we went to a Motown Show and had dinner. Keeping Lee, his sisters, family and friends in my prayers.

- Barbara Jones, Baltimore, MD

What a great loss for our community here in Savannah! Charlie was the kindest, most considerate person you could ever meet; and what a dry and outrageous sense of humor! We will never forget that. Our heart goes out to Charlie’s family and especially to his devoted husband, Lee.

- William (Bill) Lavonis; Kurt Ollmann, Savannah, GA

Grew up with Charlie and all the Jolivettes. Still in contact. Charlie was a wonderful person. Went to same grammar school, high school and reconnected on Facebook. RIP MY FRIEND!! You will be missed!❤️

- Geri Fitzgerald Yadon, Yuba City, CA

Charlie was an original - true to himself, multi-faceted, bright, and full of heart and humor. He had that rare ability to make everyone feel special, valued, and welcome. He will be missed by all who knew him. My condolences to Lee and the rest of his family.

- Todd Gerken, Savannah, GA

I adored Charlie since the first time I met him in December 1985. He was a one of a kind, fun presence at every Antitrust Division party in San Francisco. I still cherish a delightful vase he gave me back then from his collection. He said every friend should have a momento to remember the friendship. Charlie was selfless, reaching out, revealing his faith and caring about me despite his own health problems. He was remarkable, loving and lots of fun. Heaven got a good one. Condolences Lee and all your family and friends. Hugs.

- Gail Taylor, Clyde Hill, WA

What joy and celebration Charlie brought to our lives. Always had a story and a wonderful smile and gave these gifts to each of us. We grew up together as young adults in San Francisco- what a show that was- he has been in our hearts for years and he will remain forever there.

Charlie and I have been friends for over 15yrs and have worked together at Coming Home Hospice in San Francisco. I am truly blessed to have him as a Godfather to my daughter.

Until we meet again my friend. Rest Peacefully in Heaven.❤️

I am so very sad to read this obituary. My deepest condolence to Lee & the Jolivette family. Charlie & I worked together at the Veterans Adminitration. I had so much fun working with Charlie & always brought me a bouquet of roses to make my office pretty. I loved Charlie. He was like a brother to me. I am so shocked. So happy we reconnected on FB these past few years. Rest in peace my dear Charlie.

Charlie was such a special person to so many including me. During my time of the loss of my partner, Steve Keller, back in 2005, he reached out to me in many ways. His hospitality was beyond belief. A heart of gold! Rest in peace, Charlie!

- Kevin Thomas , San Francisco , California

Awe I’m so sorry to learn of his passing. He was a staple in San Francisco’s Castro District. We both loved Patti Labelle. He was always in for some good gossip and laughter. Laughter was always #1 to him during our many conversations. He was a nice person. This pic is of Momma Weezy and Charlie, together they had me in stitches. Both were so funny. David Marez.

I worked with Charlie at the Antitrust Division in San Francisco. Charlie definitely falls into the category of "larger than life." I enjoyed every minute that we worked together. When I was tending to a friend who was dying from AIDS, Charlie was instrumental in getting him ino the Hospice where he worked. Charlie had so much patience and he had a way of making the people feel loved. I visited the Hospice every day and saw how much the staff admired Charlie and enjoyed working with him as much as we did at the office. On the day that my friend passed away, Charlie and I, along with a priest were in the room and saw my friend take his last breath. I was so blessed to have him there. My deepest sympathy to Lee and the family. May God bless you all. Charlie, I'll miss you dearly. I'll see you again someday and I know you'll have something sassy to say to me!

- David Kramlick, El Sobrante, California

Lee so sorry for your loss & are loss. Charlie was amazing,kind & lovable person. He was so funny. He always made me laugh. Love, Karen
