Sad news but he's in calm waters now. In a lifetime at sea he must have told you lots about his life and the great times he had. RIP Charley.

Oh in Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell
Where sailormen go if they don't go to hell
Where the weather is fair and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far far away

Oh and when you are docked and the long trip is through
There's pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there too
Where the girls are all pretty and the beer is all free
And there's bottles of rum growin off every tree

Lock me up in me oilskins and jumper
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates
I'm takin a trip mates
I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green.
