I worked with Charles many years in the NRCS. He was always the consumate gentleman at all our meetings and discussions. I'm sending prayers for the family during this time. God Bless the family as they move forward remembering Charles and his legacy.
My condolences to the Love Family. Mr. Love was a trailblazer and a mentor for many Black soil scientists with NRCS. I had the pleasure of traveling with him and his family and also learning from him during my career. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
Really sorry to hear about Charles's passing. I really enjoyed his visits to Michigan when he was working out of the MLRA Office in Indianapolis.
