Jackie and Family, So sorry for the loss of Charlie. He was a good man, a good friend and touched so many lives along the way. He will be surely missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jackie and family, I was sorry to hear of your loss. Charlie will be missed by all who knew him. May God bless and comfort you at this difficult time.

Worked with Charlie at Dan River Mills. Charlie was a wonderful, kind gentleman. My husband always said he wanted Charlie to preach his funeral. Charlie came to Charlotte County and conducted his funeral. Deepest sympathy to Jackie and the entire family.

My dear Dad , My heart is broken into a million pieces .The past year has been the hardest , yet the most rewarding of my life .Even in your hardest days you always stayed strong , stronger than I could ever be .You suffer no more .I love you Daddy ❤

Our prayers and thoughts too the Haley family. Junior was always a very patient and kind gentleman. He always had a nice and positive word to say each time we met. I remember my father and Junior watching Nascar together as far back as the late 70’s. Great memories!
Heath & Jeanette Lee

So sorry for your loss

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
