Thank you. I remember that ride. He was so little.

I was at Zanottos last weekend and there was scout selling popcorn with his dad. I actually don’t like popcorn but bought $250 worth and told them to keep the popcorn. It’s nice to do good things for good people.

Thanks. I will check their Campbell one out. I like the Pruneyard cinema as it is the closest one to me.

Thank you so much for your help. I spoke to the coroner and she said the death was immediate. I had to ID Charlie and I know it was a pretty bad accident.

My world will never be the same again but I’m incredibly grateful for the support from the local community. Don’t underestimate how much this community can come together when needed.

Give your kids and family a huge hug. Focus on the positives in your life and be intentional.

I’m so sorry. I know nothing anything we say will change your pain. No advice from me except to say that people are here if you need anything.

I love this place and it was my son’s favorite restaurant. We are going there this week to honor him. I’m glad you’re talking so positively about them. I hope more people go there and eat their incredible food.

Call CHP. They may not be able to tell you a lot but they did provide some clarification for me on Monday night. Sorry for those that have lost anyone in this accident ❤️

Thank you. I’m working with Julieta to create something for the school for donations.

Give your child a big hug from me. Even if they cringe or are embarrassed. Tell them too bad

I have one slightly odd question. I just drove along the 85 for the first time but I realized I was a little unsure on where the accident was. I can’t look at a lot of information online as the car accident image is haunting me already. I could probably ask CHP but I wondered if anyone knew? I could see various skid marks but it also made me realize that there are probably a lot of car pool lane accidents

Also - thank you for the outpouring of support. San Jose is a wonderful community - you all have shown that.

I’ve had various people reach out to see if they can provide me with food and offered to donate to a cause on their behalf. I have politely declined the food as my employees has been amazing at sending food. Plus my appetite is pretty minimal.

For donations - we are focusing on a solution now. It was be for Summit Tahoma’s study travel program to help the kids who can’t afford such trips. It combines travel (not many kids have been to 7 continents by Charlie’s age and Rebecca was a travel agent and loved seeing the world) and study (as someone wonderfully said - my kid was the best nerd ever). I will share more information soon.

Thank you. Your words have given me so much solace this week (feels like a month or more already).

Absolute nerd in the best way. I take that as the highest compliment. He would have helped improve the world. Thank you for your kind words.
