I wish to convey my condolences to Charles' family and friends. Although I never had the opportunity to meet him in person, he helped me professionally. Journalists receive more pitches than they can deal with. I remember I pitched him a story, and he said it was too peripheral. I asked him for further feedback, and he took the time to respond and give me some invaluable advice. Legaltech journalists get way too many pitches along the lines of "X has happened - what does this mean for the ediscovery industry" - it's all FUD fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Charles was not interested in FUD; he was interested in real stories, not hypothetical ones. Of course, what that meant is I was sharing a marketing use case, not an on-the-record account. Those can be elusive.
Charles made the world better through his generosity of time and mentorship. Even though he didn't print what I had pitched at the time, he took his valuable time to improve my efforts. Charles was a force for good, and I am saddened to learn of his passing.
