Charles Daniel Culbreth

Wendy, I was just thinking about Charles and looked him up, not expecting to find an obituary. I know it´s been a while now, but I wanted to offer my condolences. I enjoyed my time with you and Charles. Mike Barta

I still think of Mr. C each mass.
Wendy is often the one singing. She has such a beautiful voice. I miss seeing Charles with her.
He was a great person and St. MARYS and GMC both were so blessed to have his amazing talent and personality for the many years we did.
He remains in our prayers and thoughts.
Sincerely, Judy Marconi

I just found out that Charlie passed away last year. I first met him way back in high school. We practiced music together, rehearsed with our band, The Mariachi Brass. We played many gigs together, all the way up to college at Hayward. I'll attach a photo of us from April, 1968. I don't know where we are, but I'm sure it's one of those first "gigs." Charlie's on bass on the far right and I'm on guitar to his right. Boy, do we look young!!!
We played Sunday Mass at St. Francis...

My grandfather was the best grandfather i could have. He taught me how to play guitar and i do it for him now

Charles and I went on a tour in 1986, with the Fresno state concert choir to Russia, Poland, and Sweden. It was at a time of persstroika in the Soviet Union. An amazing experience comparing living in a free world, to not having freedom and prosperity. He was there in Red Square when President Reagan met with Russian President Gorbachev. Thought provoking experience. Charles had a great commitment to his music, and his faith. On that trip I also noticed the importance of his wife, Wendy. He...

Charles was a special teacher in the creative lives of our now-30-something children, Katie and Doug. They both loved being a part of Green Acres and Redwood music programs and shows. Music is still an important part of their lives, and we thank Charles for teaching so many to love to sing as well as being a VUSD colleague. We have no doubt he is enjoying being a part of the heavenly choir.

Wonderful person his love for everything showed from the inside out: my condolences to family

Charles touched the lives of many. Both he and Wendy graciously shared their gifts of music and friendship. He is remembered with gratitude and fondness. May he Rest In Peace.

Mr. Culbreth was truly a special Music teacher and friend to my son Bryan at Green Acres. Mr "C." saw music talent in Bryan and even gave my son his first guitar to help learn to play music. God Bless you for brightening a young man dreams. To Wendy and all of the family, you are in my prayers.
