Our prayer is that the Lord will sustain you and your family through the loss of Charlie. I enjoyed working with him (ten years) at Naval Weapons Station. We had a lot in common and I really missed him when he left. All who worked with him admired him for his good nature and Christian spirit. His time here was but a moment in eternity. I look forward to seeing him again in heaven.

Charles shared a good time with the Woodlawn School 6th grade students on their annual trip to Washington DC. Charles always had a friendly hello. May the good Lord grant his family peace. Know you are in our prayers. God Bless.
