Very saddened to learn of Charles's passing. Hadn't seen him in many years. He and his family lived in the same neighborhood as I when we were kids. Great guy and I extend my deepest condolences to his wife, children and grandkids. I know he will be greatly missed....

So sorry to hear of the passing of Charlie. Many years ago we attended church together. Dad (Grover Osborne) thought a lot of him (and family). Prayers of comfort for his family; that only God can give. Rachel

We are so sorry for your loss. Charlie and the family means so much to Darrell and I. I loved how Charlie could be telling you something and never crack a smile, and oh that smile and laughter was contagious. But more than that I loved how when you were talking about the Bible he would stop and think a moment before he gave you and answer. Darrell and Charlie, had became close the past couple of years, calling one another, and discussing things. Our hearts are broken along with the family....
