Charles Winchell Obituary
Charles is survived by his two daughters, Lynda (Michael) Witherow and Patti (James) Robinson; and amazing granddaughter, Cassidy. He is survived by his three siblings, two brothers, Norman and Glen, and sister, Dora Mae.
Charles, of California and formerly of Tawas, was a strong, ambitious, hard-working man and an amazing father and grandfather. He owned the Tawas Indian Gift Shop for more than 20 years.
He loved the outdoors, hunting and fishing. He spent his life building houses and working outdoors. He had a great sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh. He would give a stranger the shirt off his back if they were in need. He was kind and loving to everyone that crossed his path.
He will forever be in our hearts.
Services will be held in the summer of 2020.
