O'Banion Family, So many wonderful memories come to mind when I think of Charles. All of them makes me smile. (Well maybe not ALL of them... #hicuphillsheilamomsstationwagon) but no one can ever argue his life priorities. God, Family, Friends. He will be truly missed but his legacy will live forever.

My thoughts and prayers to Sue, Sheila, Brit, Lori and the entire family. After my own Dad, Charles was the last man in my life that I actually looked up to and admired. He was a fine and hard working honest man of integrity, and I will never forget him. May his soul rest in peace, and may light perpetual shine upon him.

Charles and Sue were the reason The Lyons Family moved to Arlington back in 1978 from Corpus Christi. The O'Banions were FAMILY to us. We will miss Charles and we are definitely praying for all of you. Brother Roloff always quoted "Remember the wounds of sorrow always heal clean when the grace of GOD is applied in its abundance." We love you guys. Connie and Kids
