Charles was sunshine and a joy to know. He would always go the extra mile answering questions and making sure I was a satisfied customer. Once we were talking and there was a display of bananas near the checkout. He said from the corner of his eye his saw the bananas and for a moment thought he was home. You are iindeed home now, Charles. It was a blessing to know you.

I can see Charles saying to the Lord (with a huge smile) "Are you kidding me? Is this for real ? Oh wow. Seriously"?
Charles, Although I am happy you are home, I am going to miss you until we meet again.
I pray for the family the He provides you with the strength and love you require at this time.
Please Know that ANYONE WHO EVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET CHARLES, LOVED HIM. We spoke each time we met about how special each day is and he lived each day spreading happiness and love to all he touched. He NEVER spoke unkindly about anyone or anything. He was positive. Thank you for the 8 years we spent together. I Love you man. Bill Brubaker

I can see Charles looking at the Lord saying (with a huge smile) "Is this real? Oh man you have to be kidding me".
We spoke of the blessings of each day a gift from God, every time we met. Charles - you have now seen the true light. Although I am saddened, I am happy you are home.
May the Lord help the family during this difficult time, providing them with the strength and love they need.
Please know that EVERYONE WHO HAD THE CHANCE TO MEET CHARLES.....LOVED HIM. He never said a bad word about anyone or anything.
I will miss you buddy. I cant wait to see you again.

So sorry to hear of Charles' passing. It was a privilege to have worked with him, a very nice person. He was always so very kind and friendly, willing to help, always smiling, and so happy; he had such a robust laugh you couldn't help but smile when you heard it. I will miss him. Condolences to his family and friends. Keeping you all in prayer.
