The Blog of Death

Charlie and I attended Loyola High School together. While we were not particularly close friends, I remember him well. My heart goes out to his family.

Charlie was my date for the Sophomore class dance at Marymount High School. I haven't seen him years but I always had a good thought when I saw his name in the media. He was not someone you would ever forget. My prayers to his family.

I was so sorry to learn of Charles' death! His father, Charlie, was my God-father and my dad's best friend. I remember spending many happy times in their beautiful home. My love goes to his family, especially his brother, Richard.

I am a viewer of CSI, WITHOUT A TRACE, CSI:MIAMI,
LAW & ORDER. What a tragic loss to the entertainment
field. My prayers and thoughts to his family.

I wonder if I'm related to him. hrmmm.

I was friends with his daughter since we were 5...I just found out from a childhood friend. My heart goes out to his family.

I'm a disabled 52 year old lady in IL. As a huge fan of the television shows CSI, CSI: MIAMI, WITHOUT A TRACE and LAW AND ORDER, I know that Charles is terribly missed in the TV and Movie industry very much. As a viewer of his talent, I know he was wonderful and unique in his fields of work. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to those who were close to him, his family, friends and co-workers. I absolutely loved your work Charles. God Speed and forever keep you in His loving care for all eternity and thank you sincerely, for your talent that you shared with all of us out here.

Charlie and I were classmates at St. Johns Military Academy.

Charlie and his friend Steven Jahns introduced me to my first girl friend Tish Sterling. We all had great fun together but seperated and went our seperate ways during high school years at Loyola.

Our paths crossed again in the mid 80's at a well known Valley resturant. Charlie talked about his career in film and I about my adventures in the music business.

I am saddened to hear of his recent passing.

God bless you Charles. Thank you for the good times we shared. I will continue to remember them fondly.

The opportunity to attend Saint John's Military Academy was a pivotal point in my life and it was due to the recommendation and sponsorship of Charles Correll, Sr.. Charles Jr., Charlie, was a classmate and I'm saddened by the news of his passing. I called him Charles and he called me Eddie. I will always be indebted to the Correll family for that opportunity which has shaped my life's endeavors.

My mother, Sarah, and I wish the family our sincere condolences.

I am sorry to hear that Charlie has passed away. I am a fan of his Fathers and just finishing the restoration of "Andy's" Stinson Relient a 1935 airplane that Charles Correll Sr bought new in 1935 and flew around the country until he bought a 1937 model Stinson Gull wing airplane. I wanted to try to get in touch with some family members who might remember this airplane.......Charlie Wilson

We didn't know Charles Correll Jnr but we are great fans of all the CSI's, Law and Order, and SG1. I even remember Dragnet from the '50s! I had to add our tribute so that his family and friends and associates will know that he will be missed by fans here in the UK also. I know it is late but we only picked up the dedication on tonights CSI - Episode 1 Series 5. Love and bright blessings to his family - The Carline Family, Doncaster, Yorkshire, UK.

Although i did not know much about Mr Correll i am a huge, huge fan of CSI and CSI:Miami and his work was and will continue to be an inspiration to all that knew of it. My deepest consolances to his family.

Charlie has his own unique sense of humor, and there was never a dull moment when you were with him. I say "has" in the present tense, because I'm sure one of Charlies' responsibilities in heaven, has something to do with humor.

Charlie and I were close friends during high school, unfortunately I hadn't seen him in years.
Charlie will be missed by all who have been blessed knowing him.

I was so sorry to here about Charlie's passing away. Charle and I used to live a couple of blocks away from each other as teens, our parent were friends and we managed to get into our share of teenaged michief while growing up. Along with Steve Jahns and all the other St. John's & Loyola group all of us at Marymount knew all of them well and had great times.

Charlie will be sadly missed.

I remember Charlie from my one year at Marymount, in our crazy days. I was in one of his sister's classes. He certainly proved that when one puts ones mind at a task, great things are possible. "Great job Charlie". I saw a re run last night and just sat in shock, after having read the credits, because Charlie was younger than me, hard to believe. My heart goes out to all of the family.

I don't know him in person. I only watch his works, the whole bunches of CSI. Such a great loss. My deepest sorry to his family.

Charles was a great man, a real hero in the film industry, he wil be missed!

I am sorry for the loss of Charles. My heart goes out to his family and to the people who worked with him. I am sorry for your pain.

I just wanted to thank you all. My father has been gone now for over a year 1/2, but i think about him every day that goes by. He was something else..no one could make you laugh harder, or was more caring than he was. He was a great artist, person, and dad. I just wanted to let you know that his family appreciates the memories.

I knew Charlie for several years on a personal level, and I must say he was one of the most unusual people I have ever met. His sense of humor was like know other. I loved Charlie's honesty, you knew exactly what he was thinking, becuase he would tell you exactly what he was thinking, nothing was held back. I really miss you at the family functions and I think about you all the time.

Your bud, Tuna

My grandfather knew Charles Sr. in Peoria in the 1905-1925 timeframe.

I was watching CSI DVds, and saw the post at und of the film, had to see who are you, and am happy to know, but sad to learn. He must have been a master at his passion

I just watched yet another rerun of CSI Las Vegas and Law & Order simultaneously (hey Im a 911 Operator/Police dispatcher multi-tasking is our life!) never tire of it (Showcase & Bravo rock as opposed to reality TV yuck!) ..I had no idea who Charles Correll was & not of his accomplishments -- what talent! You are lucky to have been his family.

I was most impressed with the mention of his *humour* as I'm a true believer it makes the world a much more livable place & without it we'd live a very bleak existence - it truly lifts the soul :-) -
ok that was a run-on sentence I know don't judge me.

Seriously: terribly sorry for your loss.

E AI CHORÃO QUANDO VOCÊS VÃO VIR TOCAR NO ENIGMA EM GRAVATAÍ RS ESTOU LOUCO PRA CONHECER VOCÊS UM ABRAÇO RODRIGO PINTO ESPERO RESPOSTAS.VALEUUUU....

Charlie’s dead. Hard to come to terms with that. I first met him in the late 60’s, when he married a close friend of mine. I remember when he was moved up from second asst camera to first; we went down to the camera store to get his first ditty bag for his tools. One day when he and his wife were having trouble we drove around town in my little TR3 and he told me things about his childhood with his famous father. We worked together twice. On Animal House and on Winds of War. He had a wonderful sense of humor, and a remarkable ability to calm down hysterical directors. The last time we worked together was on an episode of Melrose Place. By then he was directing, had a new wife and child. He had a rare grace about him. My heart goes out to those who knew him better than I.

I do hope that at member of Charlie's family will get this message. I am his first wife and I have a few items that his family might like to have. I have tried to reach Richard with no success. I was shocked to hear of Charlie's passing. He was a very special person, loved and admired by many.

I really didn't know Charlie as a great cinematographer, but knew him as an ocassional buddy that I'd hang out with at the Van Nuys Air National Guard base in the early 60's. He was a lot of fun and a pleasure to be with on our weekend warrior stints for over 5 years. What a great loss of such a talented and fun young man. I wish all God's blessings on Charlie's family.
