It's been many years since I've seen or talked with Charles. I have many fond memories of growing up in Louisiana with Charles and his family. He was one of my brother Eddie's best friends. God Bless and care for them both.

Charles, Allen and I were AirForce brats together at two differnt times while growing up. Columbus Ohio in the mid 60" and Bossier City LA in the late 60's/early 70's. We had so much fun playing in the huge field behind thir house, building forts and tree houses, spending summer days at the pool. Later in LA, it was a fun riverly between Bossier and Airline High, PYOC dances coming of age. I have not seen Charles in many years but have many fond memories. I am so sorry for your loss.

Sally and Family - Charles was a man with a quick smile and good heart. Elizabeth and I always enjoyed running into him at Holly Mead on the weekends. We will hold you all in our thoughts and prayers here at your time of loss and sadness; we pray that the Lord will make his countenance to shine upon you all, and grant you His peace.
