Charles and his family were, continue to be, true friends who always radiate special memories. I'm fortunate to have had them as part of my journey. Let's all hope that we individually and collectively follow their example and make the same kinds of contributions to the world that they have done.

Charlie was not only the First Sgt I served under when I came out of the Police Academy, but was both my neighbor and very close friend.

I was fortunate to have met Charlie in 1973 when I joined the Jackson PD. He was one of those guys who welcomed those of us who had been cops elsewhere. I got hurt on the job after only about 5 months and spent 2 weeks in Kimball Hospital. There wasn't a day that went by that Charlie didn't come to my bedside and spend time with me; he even passed the hat to help out my family when our bills mounted. He was a Cop's Cop who was always there for his brother officers and the people of Jackson. I will treasure our friendship. My condolences to his family in their time of grief, especially Betty who I got to know so well when I was a juvenile officer and worked the school programs.
The Last time we were together....JPD Brothers, Joe, Clay, Bob and Charlie

He was my friend all of my life and like his family represented what is good about people, friends and villagers. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to spend some time with him recently, now, we all have to be satisfied with the memories, we have all lost a friend.

BCE ( Bryant CHARLES EVANS) as we referred to him in non_public was my Sergeant for a decade. A strong religous man with conviction. As a rookie on his shift he taught me about the good ,bad and the ugly. His mentoring allowed me to developed my own street sense. It is with the utmost respect that I salute you farewell my Sergeant.RIP Godspeed to you. Thank you for serving.
