Two years ago, News 5 profiled Charlie Gunn, a veteran who captured the hearts and photographs of people visiting the Cleveland script sign at Edgewater Park. Sadly, Gunn died last month, and a memorial service was held Thursday.

Gunn was an Air Force veteran who found a way to continue serving by snapping pictures of people in Cleveland.

His wife, Eileen, called Gunn a "special guy," and we agree.

Gunn will be laid to rest Friday with other heroes at the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery.

News 5 sends our best to the entire Gunn family.
