Charlie was living proof that there is strength in humility. I have never known a better man in my entire life. He touched everyone he ever met in a positive way and set an example we all should follow. Charlie left a part of himself with each of us.

"Mr. Charlie" will be greatly missed by all at Chapel Baptist. He was truly a shining example in his Christian walk to all of us that knew him. I know he was met with "well done my good and faithful servant."
