Charlie and my dad (Donnie Webb) graduated from high school together. I used to cover Nicholasville in sales for FedEx. I stopped by every now and then to see how he was doing. I always enjoyed hearing his stories about his family and horses.

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Jolene and Family,
Charlie was like a brother I never had. He was such a warm and caring person with a great smile and personality. He gave great advice and help. David and I will never forget the tour he gave us of your lovely farm. We were so proud to be one of his many friends. We know he is in Heaven with my parents (John Allen & Brooksie Fears) and Nate Sorrell; most likely they are fishing. The visitation was beautiful. We are here for you. Keep in touch.
Love Ya Sis,
Julie and David Roberts

Jolene & family, I'm can't tell you how sad I am to hear that Charlie passed away. He was such an inspiration to me 22 years ago when I was at my lowest. My son, Ken Green, has kept me posted the last few weeks. He was such a spiritual giant and he helped so many people. He will be missed. May God bless all of you and comfort you.
