My condolences go out to the Young family for their loss. I will miss seeing Rep. Young at Western Sizzlin’ on Tuesdays. Charles Young was one of the first people who asked me to work on his computers many years ago when I first moved to Meridian. Since that time, he always spoke and shook my hand whenever we saw each other. He was an avid supporter of Meridian and Lauderdale County and I am sure he will be missed by many.
