I was in high school with Charlie. We went to Paschal HS. He had a green 49´ Chevy that we cruised in on the weekend. I didn´t have a car so we were always in his. His parents were good people. I think his dad worked Bell.

Charlie taught me how to make a living splicing telephone cable. We worked as a team for years. I miss him,

Deepest condolences to the family and friends during this most difficult time. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing someone so beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory. Psalms 116:15

Our dear neighbor, Charles. Always enjoyed seeing him walking his much loved dog every morning. He always stopped to chat with friends along his walk. Charles and Carolyn lived here on our street when we moved in August 1987. Charles your smile will be missed and seeing you out my kitchen window will never be again as you passed by each morning. Carolyn may God give you extra love during this time and if there's anything any neighbors can do, please let us know. Perry and I are praying for you and will continue. May God bless you.
