Mr. Charles Joseph Bourgeois Sr.

TO MY FATHER: MY IDOL-MY INSPIRATION
The one constant and true inspiration in my life has been and will always be MY LOVING AND ADORING MOTHER AND FATHER. You, dad, have now passed on to a better place, and I hope to one day join you again. Until then, I will strive to be as amazing a person as you were. You will forever remain in my heart and if I can become half the person you were then I will be happy. Dad, you were a tremendous father, teacher, husband, and all around person. You were rich with love, family and morals. Mom and dad you taught me there is nothing more precious in life than God and family. Live today and love each other as if it is your last. Your endearing smile and playful personality will never be forgotten. You will be in my every thought each and every day. My heart will forever be missing you. Good bye but never forgotten my dearest and most precious father. Love your daughter

C J,having lost my own Dad 2 years ago I have a sense of the loss you must feel. I know that the bond between a father and son is an especial one. I pray your great memories of your Dad will comfort you in this trying time. I am pleased to have enjoyed my relationship with your father. Most impessive is the the strength with which your Dad loved his family as he was greatly loved in return.
My prayers are with you and your family.

Sweet Deborah and my Dearest Diane, I know your loving relationship with your father started at birth. Since you have had the longest loving relationship with him it is hard to imagine your sense of loss.In your sorrow please have faith and be consoled- for your father's spirirt is made whole again, resting peacefully in the hands of our Lord.
By our union I became a member of his loving family and I am forever grateful for knowing him, for I loved him ,and his family,too.
My words are small but God is great and I pray he comforts all his family in this trying time.

My deepest thoughts are with you Diane, Deborah and CJ and Jeffery. I loved the Times Picayune picture of handsome Charlie. I remember him as quite a character and I'm sure you guys will smile often during this process . With Love, Edmond and all of the Wattigney's

I played trumpet with Charlie in the jefferson community band for at least 30 years plus. We joke around and had a good time.He will be missed by me and other band members.I know he is playing his trumpet in heaven.The song, when your old wedding ring was new.

June and Bourgeois Family: So sorry to hear about the loss of Charlie. He truly will be missed by all who knew him. He joins some special angels up there in Heaven. You and your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

He was A husband,father,friend,A comic,but most of all to me he was my brother.Charlie &June practically raised me,I learned A lot from that man,he helped me in ways that I will never forget.He was A hard worker all of his life,and now he is at rest,at peace,for that I am greatful.He will be missed!
The last years of his life he was not Charlie,the alzheimers had stolen his mind,but still he remembered me ,brothers to the end,go forth with my love Charlie,rest now and I'll see you on the other side.
