Charlotte Sharp was the heart and soul of Falcon Skydiving. Along with her husband Ron, she gave me my first break into the skydiving indistry and forever changed my life for the better. Falcon will not be the same without her at the helm. Fly free Charlotte, we will take good care of all that you built and pass it on to the next generation of skydivers and pilots.

I’m so sorry to hear about Charlotte, my deepest condolences to all her family and friends. Falcon won’t be the same without her.
Falcon will not be the same without Charlotte. She will be missed dearly. I’ll never forget her kindness, her hardworking and dedicated attitude, and her passion for life. She was truly an amazing and courageous woman. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to know her. I pray her soul would rest in eternal peace.
Charlotte was the first person to greet me at Falcon. She was somewhat reserved but couldn’t help but show the depths of kindness which so clearly lived inside of her. Every tidbit of wisdom she shared was gold and won’t soon be forgotten. I hope to carry forward any small bit I am able to of the many worlds she has built. BSBS.
Charlotte was the cornerstone of Falcon Skydiving, an organization that has given me more than I can express in words. Some may imagine but only I will know how much was given. Thank you, Charlotte!
My deepest sympathy and many prayers to Ron,Sam and Charlotte’s brother and sister and their families. I spent many summers at the Leach farm growing up with Charlotte Chas and Cheryle, showing sheep at the county fair, playing under the thorn tree tent, playing in the muddy corn field after a heavy rain ! Wonder full memories !
Charlotte always had a special place in my ❤️ Your flying even Higher now ! Love You, cousin Mary Jo
