Charlie Hodge has lung cancer. I have known for about a month but Jennifer, his girlfriend, asked that it not be made public. This am a notice came out from a overseas fan club so I guess it's ok to post it now. Please keep Charlie in your prayers.

Having seen and spoken with Charlie all of the many times there at the theatre in Pigeon Forge TN, I can say (in spite of the jokes I've made about some of this stories) that he's truly a fine gentleman and very friendly to the fans.
My thoughts and prayers go out to him with the hopes of a full recovery.

"Thank you very much. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the big, freaky International Hotel. Those little weirdo dolls on the walls. And those little funky angels on the ceiling. Uh, this is my first live appearance in 9 years. H-uhh! Thank you. I've appeared dead a few times, but this is my first live appearance. Before the evening is up, I will have made a complete and total fool of myself, and I hope you get a kick out of watching it." --EP

He is joked about too much here and deserves better.Hav-A-Tampa wrote:We joke a lot about Charlie here, but he is a nice guy and still loyal to his old friend, and that´s what counts.
When I approached him in October, I told him how much I appreciated the fact that he has never uttered one negative remark about Elvis. His response was "Why would I? He was my friend."
Elvis would have been very proud of his reply.
Good luck, Charlie. My prayers are with you.

For all of his imprefections, answers like that make him stand out in the cluttered "Elvis friend" circle. I wish Charlie the best and hope his recovery is a speedy one.Rob wrote:He is joked about too much here and deserves better.Hav-A-Tampa wrote:We joke a lot about Charlie here, but he is a nice guy and still loyal to his old friend, and that´s what counts.

Agreed. Charlie is cool. I like this guy a lot. A true character. And he's still being 100% loyal to Elvis, he's still taking care of business. I hope he gets well soon.Rob wrote:Hav-A-Tampa wrote:He is joked about too much here and deserves better.

And so it begins fans, ......... a number of the MMM's are all getting older / sicker.
.......... so will we all ........................
Hodge is quite the character (on a number of levels), but ........ definitely deserves good wishes during such a time.
Keep the hope, Hodge.
One's gotta wonder how E himself would have felt had he outlived the MMM's.
