He was lovingly known as Charlie Buttons for the buttons and pins stuck to his yarmulka. Most of these pins were Jewish-themed, such as ~~[[The Ten Mivtzoim\|~~the Rebbe’s 10 Mivtzoim]] ([[Tefillin]] and [[Shabbos]]), the [[Tzivos Hashem]] youth movement, [[Camp Gan Yisroel]], and even one from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).

	Charlie, always wearing a white shirt and jeans, was treated with much respect and affection by the [[Rebbe]].

	“During the Farbrengens at 770, after the Rebbe would finish a [[Sicha]], the entire crowd would shout ~~‘[[Amen]]~~!,'” one [[Crown Heights]] resident reminisced. “And each time, just as the crowd’s ‘Amen’ would die down, Charlie would shout his own ‘Amen!’ as loud as he could, booming through the entire Shul.”		“During the Farbrengens at 770, after the Rebbe would finish a Sicha, the entire crowd would shout ‘Amen!,'” one Crown Heights resident reminisced. “And each time, just as the crowd’s ‘Amen’ would die down, Charlie would shout his own ‘Amen!’ as loud as he could, booming through the entire Shul.”

	There were rare occasions, such as a farbrengen in 2010, when Charlie showed up at 770 wearing a black suit, red yarmulka, and bowtie. He told the crowd that he was invited to a wedding in [[Williamsburg]], “so I’m wearing this costume.”		There were rare occasions, such as a farbrengen in 2010, when Charlie showed up at 770 wearing a black suit, red yarmulka, and bowtie.
