I had known Mr.Chalie since 4 or 5 years old. He was always a hard worker that loved his family, but at the same time had a good since of humor. The last time I saw him,while stopping past there, he talked about past events and family. When I made a comment on how long he and Mrs.Liz had been together. He smile and said,"Man she can`t get rid of me if she wanted to..where she going, I`m going ". My God comfort All in your time of lost. His work was done.
