Charles Douglas Obituary
LaRUE: Charles Lester Douglas, 75 of LaRue, died Tuesday, December 27, 2016 at the home of his sister in Mt. Giliead.
He was born June 14, 1941 in Richwood to the later Charles W. Douglas and Cleo (Lama) Layne. He was also preceded in death by a sister, Sharon Douglas and two step-sisters, Linda Douglas and Betty Jo Seaman.
Charlie liked motorcycles, guns, fast cars and loud music. When he wasn't reading and watching sports, he enjoyed the outdoors and spending time visiting family and friends. He never called ahead and always showed up early. Charlie enjoyed telling stories of his youth and was never too shy to offer his advice.

Gilead; and two step-sisters, Carol Giles, Marion and Nancy Melendez, Marion.

Its been 3 years now since Charlie passed, but just last week I saw someone in a passing car that reminded me of him, and the memory made me smile.

I've known Charlie all my life. He was 10 years older than me and as a kid I remember him leaving for the service and lost track of him after he came home until I started to work at Whirlpool. The last 10 years before he retired I had an office on the roof and saw Charlie on an almost daily basis. We spent many hours sitting and talking. We both knew each others families and shared many friends. He was a good man and I'm sure he will be missed by many people other than me. My condolences to his family.
