    Charles brought such joy to our home whenever he would stay over. He was my husband’s boss, but more importantly, he was our family’s dear friend. The deep love he had for his family always was apparent in his conversations and joy that would show on his face whenever he talked with them or about them. Our family was shown so much hospitality in his home whenever we would go to visit. It was a
    lways an adventure for us to be at his home. Who knew what new toy he would have or share! My heart goes out to you, Lynda, Christy and Misty and to your families. Sending love, hugs and prayers for comfort and strength. He was a good man.

    Sorry for your loss. Charles was a one of a kind and a dying breed of a hard working man who loved his family more than anything. As a friend or neighbor he would truly give you his shirt off his back to help you. God bless and RIP my friend. You will be truly be missed, but not forgotten.
