Never forget you Uncle Chuck. Many of us miss you very very much.
Today you turn 80.I miss you Uncle Chuck & pray for you every single day. I know it's worldly thinking, but I'm hoping you got to pick out a heavenly motorcycle to ride....to go get ice cream. Love you & never forgotten. Christine
Uncle Chuck I miss you. My world always felt safer with you in it...here on earth. I know your with mom. Love you forever. Today is your birthday.
Miss you 💞
My condolences to the Korff Family. I have always wondered whatever became of Charlie. He was one of the grooms men in my wedding. We lost contact after his marriage and a move he made to one of the Dakotas I think it was. I knew he had entered the Secret Service and that was it. Due to the computer age I can now put my mind to rest wondering what ever happened to him. I could not have imagined a more distinguished and full life. You were blessed. With Prayers, Hazel Yarnevich
Missing my Uncle Chuck. It is hard to describe how much. I'm glad he got to spend some time with my daughter this past summer. Checking her "power" and pretending to get zapped when she touched him. Wish I had another few moments to tell him how special he was and still is to me.
In loving memory of our friend and colleague, Charlie Korff, a contribution has been made to Southeastern Guide Dogs in his name.

Charlie taught me the value of and necessity for humor on the campaign trial. A gentleman, a patient and kind teacher and a genuinely good soul.

I first met Charlie when I was transferred to the Tampa Field Office of the Secret Service in late 1989. We had both had been in the Secret Service for 20 years but had never met. We worked together for many long hours over the next 5 years which included the move of the field office, training of many new agents, a presidential campaign, office inspection and Charlie's divorce. During that time Charlie became a respected colleague, and more importantly a very close friend. He was a man of honesty, integrity and great resolve. Although we shared a few moments of sadness during this time we had many more laughs.
After I retired in 1994, Charlie and I would still get together for a lunch or dinner. My wife, Donna, loved having Charlie over for dinner and he used to tease her about the menu for the next meal.
When I was leaving the hospital after visiting Charlie on Saturday, I crossed over Bayshore Blvd and the memories of Charlie & I jogging down this road, as we did many times, flashed through my mind. Certainly a happier time for both of us.
I will totally miss Charlie and regard him as one of my best friends ever. However I believe the Lord has a plan for all of us and he chose Charlie to do the advance for us in heaven. So we can all expect a smooth transition to heaven when it is our turn and the best part will be that we are are greeted by Charlie with that great big smile.
Donna & I express our greatest sympathy to Charlie's family.
