"* Pascal Charlot, 72, of Washington, D.C. A carpenter who immigrated from Haiti years ago, he fixed things for his neighbors -- a doorjamb for one, a box around a radiator for another. He lived with his wife in a rowhouse decorated with potted flowers on the porch and tomatoes and bell peppers in a small garden. "

Peace be with the Charlot family.
