To the Bacon Family!!!
Greetings in the Precious name of Jesus!!!
We praise the Lord Jesus Christ for sharing with us Charlie in this journey of life!!!
We were classmates from Jr. High to Maggie Walker High ~ 1961. During those years Charlie had the gift of "Leadership" & was a comic (LOL )& our class had a great time in those days...partly due to Charles being there.
God Bless You Always!!!

To the Bacon Family: Charlie was more than cop: an instructor: he was a man deeply committed to helping people. I'll miss him along with others. Lowell Duckett
