He was a devoted father and grandfather to his daughters Toni Felgueres and Sandra Hogue and their six children, and stepchildren Harold and Jody Combs and their children. He was a cherished brother to Mary Dunlap-Flynn and Billy Dunlap, and uncle to their five children.

Godspeed Charlie. We were kids together, part of the Heather Drive gang. He was like another brother. We played, fought, walked to school, and grew up together. He stuck up for me when I needed help and lectured me when I screwed up. We lost touch more than 30 years ago and I always hoped Life was kind to him. With love and fond memories, Connie

So sorry to hear about Charlie. We were friends from Montalvin Manor and shared our first pad after getting home from the army. My thoughts are with him and his family tonight. His parents always welcomed me into their home. We even used to practice guitar and drums in the living room, playing songs like "Wipe Out". Peace be with you Charlie. Your friend, Wally.
